Frozen Tissue Array Breast tumor

Shipping Condition: Dry ice

Storage Condition: -70ºC Shelf Life: Half a year from the date of receipt under proper storage condition

Description Tissues were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after excision, and embedded in OCT. All

tissue panels, can be used for both immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. These products are ideal for rapid cellular localization of RNA and protein expression, especially for antibodies that

don't recognize paraffin embedded tissue. At least one of the tissue slides from each lot was stained

with H & E to ensure the quality. The details of the description of each product line are as follows:

• Frozen Tissue Section

The tissue sections are 5-10 μm in thickness, mounted on positively charged glass slides, and fixed by cold acetone.

• Human Frozen Tissue Section Matched Pairs (PP/PM).

Human frozen tissue section matched pair products include: Primary Pair (PP), Primary and metastatic

Pair. PP consists of frozen tissue sections of primary tumor (or diseased tissue) and its adjacent normal

tissue; PM consists of frozen tissue sections of primary tumor and corresponding metastatic tumor.

Frozen tissue sections in each pair are prepared from the same donor. This product line is ideal for

localization of tumor-specific (or disease specific) genes and tumor metastatic genes. Tissue sections are

5-10 μm in thickness, mounted on positively charged glass slides, and fixed by cold acetone.

• Frozen Tissue Section Panel.

Frozen Tissue Section Panel contains 5 to 8 different tissues on one slide. The tissue panels are 5-10 μm in thickness, mounted on positively charged glass slides, and fixed by cold acetone.

• Frozen Tissue Array. Frozen Tissue Array contains up to 45 tissue spots from different tissues on one slide. Each tissue core

size is 2 mm diameter. Tissue arrays are 5-8 μm in thickness, mounted on positively charged glass slides,

and fixed by cold acetone. A reference chart shows all the tissue names and their respective position on the array
