Managing My Results

Partnering with a CRO can be challenging, but HistoWiz simplifies the process of requesting research services and receiving your results efficiently.

  • How do I get my results

    Simply log in to your Histowiz account from any electronic device and click on 'My Orders' button. All of your images will be available for viewing under your order number. We will send you an email when your order is complete!

    Yes, please see the attached link here.

    We've scanned an industry-standard linear scale micrometer and uploaded it to our digital platform. As you zoom in and out of the slide, the scalebar will adjust accordingly to the measurement. Note: The slide includes metric AND imperial measurements. For reference, we've included a screenshot of scalebar on the micrometer slide at 500 µm, 1 mm, and 2 mm.

    We don’t recommend downloading since these are gigabyte sized files and other viewers may not be able to provide the standard of image quality and analysis tools as HistoWiz. If you choose to download the slides for compliance or image analysis purposes, you can view the slides by using ImageScope (Windows) or QuPath(Mac) for brightfield images, and CaseViewer for immunofluorescent images. They are free slide viewer programs that you can download.

  • How do I use my results for publications?

    Please feel free to use this as a template: Histology was performed by HistoWiz Inc. (histowiz.com) using a Standard Operating Procedure and fully automated workflow. Samples were processed, embedded in paraffin, and sectioned at 4μm. Immunohistochemistry was performed on a Bond Rx autostainer (Leica Biosystems) with enzyme treatment (1:1000) using standard protocols. Antibodies used were rat monoclonal F4/80 primary antibody (eBioscience, 14-4801, 1:200) and rabbit anti-rat secondary (Vector, 1:100). Bond Polymer Refine Detection (Leica Biosystems) was used according to the manufacturer's protocol. After staining, sections were dehydrated and film coverslipped using a TissueTek-Prisma and Coverslipper (Sakura). Whole slide scanning (40x) was performed on an Aperio AT2 (Leica Biosystems).

    We kindly ask you to use our sharable link for the slides in your paper, allowing the reviewers and readers to access the entire slide instead of the traditional "postage stamp" pictures. This will help increase your credibility, help the journals to promote open access and minimize data bias, help the readers to better view histology data, and help us generate website traffic. Let us know the slides you want to publish, and we will keep them online on our cloud database for as long as needed for your studies for free. Once your paper is published, please send us the citation so we can promote your paper in our marketing materials.
