THE PHOTOS ARE
IN: May
4th, 2010. I finally found time to take some photos of our new lab and
upload them onto this site. Please click HERE
for your viewing pleasure.
EXPANSION
BECOMES REALITY:
April 1st, 2010. This is the date we move into our brand new,
state-of-the-art totally GLP compliant facility located at the "crossroads
of central Massachusetts" (Route 146 and the Massachusetts Turnpike). We will have a histology
lab, a plastic section lab, a special stains lab, a GLP lab, a grossing lab, a
ventilated lab and a clean room to be used exclusively for New England Horse
Labs. The labs will have a back-up electrical system powered by a natural
gas
generator, security system and a bunch of offices for staff and consulting veterinarians
and veterinary pathologists. PLEASE ADDRESS YOU DELIVERIES
ACCORDINGLY.
NEW TOLL-FREE
TELEPHONE NUMBER:
January 21, 2010. Effective immediately, our new toll-free telephone
number is (877) 944-4786, otherwise known as (877) 94-HISTO.
ANOTHER NO
PRICE INCREASE ANNOUNCEMENT:
November 18, 2009. We have decided to once again maintain our prices for
another year. In the last 8 years, salaries, health benefits, supplies and
the general cost of living has risen drastically, yet MHS has kept its prices
level. How long can we keep going without raising our prices? We're
in the process of contacting Guinness World Book Of Records to find out if we've
broken the record yet. If it takes another year or two to break the
record, then heck, we'll do it!
VOTED BEST
HISTOPATHOLOGY LAB ON EARTH!:
October 24, 2009. I was with my Mom yesterday and I asked her:
"Mom, which is the best histopathology lab on earth?" And she immediately
answered: "Why, of course it's your lab!" Thanks Mom.
RUMORS OF
ANOTHER EXPANSION?: September
15, 2009. Yes, the rumors are true! Because of our phenomenal
success in offering quality histopathology at reasonable pricing, we are forced,
for the fourth time in nine years, to expand our facilities. Every time we
expand, we build out to meet our expected needs for at least 5 years yet within
two years, we outgrow the facilities. Are we complaining? Heck
no! Right now, the plans are still in the architectural phase and we're
looking for the move to take place in April, 2010.
Stay tuned ...
MASS HISTO
OPENS A SUBSIDIARY COMPANY: January
31, 2009. Mass Histology
Service, Inc. has formed an equine specialty testing Lab and has named it
"New England Horse Labs". This lab will focus on testing horses
for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA), Contagious Equine Metritis (CEM) and equine

CEM and EIA
CERTIFICATION:
November 10, 2007. After
nearly a week of intense training in Ames, Iowa, Jim Staruk received his federal
USDA certification to sign-out CEM and EIA test results to all of our equine
veterinarians. There's only a hand-full of certified people across the
country who can do this! Congratulations Jim!
TOXICOLOGICAL
VETERINARY PATHOLOGIST:
November 1, 2007. To keep
up with our growing demand in research pathology, another experienced, board
certified and licensed veterinary pathologist whose specialty is toxicological
pathology has been added to our list of pathologists. Give us a call to
speak directly to him about your future experimental investigations. ANOTHER
EXPANSION!: September
1, 2007. To keep up with your demand for quick and reliable service, we
recently doubled the size of our lab and added additional staff to serve our
ever-growing client list. We'll add photos of our new lab as soon as
possible. Please stay tuned. It'll be worth the wait. It's
beautiful! TOLL-FREE FAX:
November 22, 2006. We hate
to see our customers spend money. To save us from this anguish, we've
added a toll-free FAX line. Our new FAX number is (866) 554-4553.
HUMAN
PATHOLOGIST ADDED TO STAFF:
August 19, 2006. The
family at Mass Histology Service just keeps on
growing! You asked for him and we delivered. For those in need of
slide review of human tissue, we have added another pathologist. This one
is board certified in human pathology. So send those research tissues
in. He's eager, anxious and very good at what he does.
ON-LINE
REPORTING / STORAGE:
January 1, 2006. All of
our customers can now retrieve their pathology reports via our secure homepage,
protected by their own unique password. No matter if the reports are daily surgical specimens or large toxicological studies, the complete
results are available seven
days a week, 24 hours a day, no matter where they dial in from. Please ask
one of our sales representatives to explain this newest service which, by the
way, is free to all of our customers.
INTRODUCING OUR
REVOLUTIONARY TIER PRICING SYSTEM:

yesterday"
NEW LAB!
October 1, 2004. Mass Histology Service moved into a brand new, state of the art histopathology facility in
Worcester, Massachusetts (hence the name "Mass" Histology).
The laboratory features the latest in equipment and a custom HVAC air circulating and ventilating system specially designed to keep
our employees happy and healthy. It is 100% handicapped assessable and
OSHA compliant. If you're ever in town, please feel free to stop in to
say hello. We usually have a hot pot of coffee brewing and we use real
milk here! Click HERE to view some photos of the new facilities.
PASSED!
September 22, 23 and 24, 2004. Mass Histology
Service had the honor and privilege of being audited by an investigator from the
Federal Drug Administration. Although I won't use her name, I want to say
that she was one of the nicest people I've ever met. Being very thorough
(although fair) while she evaluated a recent GLP project we are working
on. In the end, we were cited for only a few very minor deficiencies that
were rectified even before she left the premise. Although we can't say we
are "FDA Certified" (because there is no such thing), we can say were
were audited by the FDA and passed the test with no major citations!
