Moons Microtomy was launched in 2023 as an independent microtomy company. Demand has seen us grow and the service has expanded to support more customers.
We set out in 2023 with one goal
“To provide a cost effective, quality and easy to use service that helps NHS trusts to clear their histopathology backlog”.
Since then, we have also worked with private and research organisations providing block-to-slide services to all that require it.
Quality is the driver of our business. We quality check every slide that we produce to ensure it meets our strict quality assurance policies. Slides will be checked for quality of sectioning, staining and PIIs by suitably qualified HCPC registered Biomedical Scientists.
All worked is recorded, tracked and checked out on our LIMS.
Our team of experts have years of experience and knowledge working with both private and NHS histopathology laboratories. We are here to support our customers with guidance and advice tailored to their specific needs.
We believe in ease of use, honesty and integrity. From the start of your journey with us you will know the cost of the service you want. From single batches to long term agreements, Moons Microtomy has a service package that suits you.
Small backlog building up and just want to clear them before they become an issue. This service may be right for you.
We can provide discounts for service users who have short term block requirements. We agree our turn around times up front so you can plan your work load.
We can provide further discounts for service users who have long term service requirements. We can help with planning so that all your needs are met.
We understand that some of our service users do not need batch work, we are happy to discuss your needs and tailor a service that suits you. We are happy to sign non disclosure agreements to protect your products, service or research.
From the moment you contact us to the end of your backlog, Moons Microtomy will be there to guide and assist you until the work has been seen through.
We do not take risks. We have a robust quality management system ensuring the right block is sectioned to the right slide for the right patient. Every step in our process is checked and tracked. We assess every single slides to UK NEQAS standards to ensure diagnostic quality.
Moons Microtomy will not only allow you to get more for your money, our prices are also available to see so you can make fully informed choices before you make contact. By using us, you reduce the need to use expensive locum agencies.
Third party reporting services prefer direct from slide reporting, often leaving block-to-slide work at the bottom of their priorities. Moons Microtomy focuses on your block-to-slide work so you are never at the bottom of our list. We can often ship directly to the reporting provider of you choice too!
If you go under an agreement, you have guaranteed capacity with us. So whether its a backlog, planned increase in work volume or ongoing staffing issues Moons Microtomy will deliver on our agreements to ensure your service runs smoothly.
If you are new to this type of service we can offer advice on which service may be best for you. We can also conduct a site visit and assess your needs. If you take out one of our contract services, the assessment will be free of charge.
