Snap-freezing of Post-surgical Tissue Biospecimens
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This evidence-based best practice document is applicable to all human tissues that are to be preserved by snap-freezing. Biospecimens preserved under these procedural guidelines are suitable for downstream analysis of DNA, RNA, protein, and morphology endpoints. Additional analytical endpoints, including but not limited to cell viability, cell sorting, drug sensitivity testing, or use as donor specimens for xenografts or primary tissue culture, do not fall within the scope of this document.

متن کاملEffects of Delay in the Snap Freezing of Colorectal Cancer Tissues on the Quality of DNA and RNA
PURPOSE The success of basic molecular research using biospecimens strongly depends on the quality of the specimen. In this study, we evaluated the effects of delayed freezing time on the stability of DNA and RNA in fresh frozen tissue from patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS Tissues were frozen at 10, 30, 60, and 90 minutes after extirpation of colorectal cancer in 20 cases. Absorbance ...
متن کاملThe influence of tissue procurement procedures on RNA integrity, gene expression, and morphology in porcine and human liver tissue.
The advent of molecular characterization of tissues has brought an increasing emphasis on the quality of biospecimens, starting with the tissue procurement process. RNA levels are particularly affected by factors in the collection process, but the influence of different pre-analytical factors is not well understood. Here we present the influence of tissue specimen size, as well as the transport...
متن کاملCryopreservation of viable human lung tissue for versatile post-thaw analyses and culture.
Clinical trials are currently used to test therapeutic efficacies for lung cancer, infections and diseases. Animal models are also used as surrogates for human disease. Both approaches are expensive and time-consuming. The utility of human biospecimens as models is limited by specialized tissue processing methods that preserve subclasses of analytes (e.g. RNA, protein, morphology) at the expens...
متن کاملThe Evolving Role of Tissue Biospecimens in the Treatment of Cancer
The field of surgical pathology is diagnostic in nature and since its inception, has always supported the treatment of cancer. The manner by which tissues are processed may vary between institutions, but the vast majority utilize formaldehyde as the fixative of choice. This fixative allows for excellent architectural tissue preservation thereby enabling optimal microscopic examination, the foun...
