GLP Research Unit – Histology Laboratory

Histology Laboratory at Silesian Park of Medical Technology Kardio-Med Silesia: an innovative approach to biocompatibility testing.

The Silesian Park of Medical Technology Kardio-Med Silesia is a place where innovation meets precision, and one of the key areas of the center is the Histology Laboratory. It is here that biocompatibility and biocompatibility testing of medical devices is carried out using the latest technologies and in accordance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) standard.

The laboratory provides comprehensive biological evaluation of medical devices. One of the key aspects of testing is toxicity evaluation, which includes acute, subacute, subchronic and chronic toxicity testing, as well as irritation and sensitization analysis.

The equipment used in the Histology Laboratory includes a classical staining line for preparing samples for microscopic analysis. In addition, the laboratory uses modern equipment that allows the preparation of slides in resin. This innovative solution makes it possible to obtain preparations of exceptional quality, necessary for meticulous histological studies for hard test materials such as stents and bones.

The cryostat is another indispensable tool in the Histology Laboratory, enabling rapid freezing of tissues, which is crucial for preserving their structure and properties during histological studies.

Tests conducted according to the highest standards, enable comprehensive evaluation of the effects of medical devices on cells and tissues. Combined with in vivo studies, the Histology Laboratory at Silesian Park of Medical Technology Kardio-Med Silesia provides the full range of analyses necessary to assess the safety and efficacy of medical devices.

All these activities take place in strict compliance with industry standards and regulations. This is where innovation and attention to the highest quality meet to ensure the safety and effectiveness of modern medical solutions.
