Frozen Tissue Section

Introduction to Frozen Tissue Section

BioChainr Frozen Tissue Slides are ideal for rapidly identifying cellular localization of RNA or protein. The tissues were excised, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and then stored in -80. All tissues are pathologically identified. A single tissue section with 5-10 i thickness is mounted on a positively charged glass slide. The slide is fixed and dehydrated with cold acetone. It has shown consistent results in both in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry analysis.

Features

Tissues from a wide variety of hard to obtain tissue sources

Suitable for both immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization

Multiple tissues or a single tissue per slide

Documentation on tissues' clinical histories available

Applications

Cellular localization of tissue specific mRNA and protein expression

Identification of tumor and disease specific genes, proteins by in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistry, and in situ PCR detection

Comparison of the locations of novel genes in different tissues

Control slides for immunohistochemistry studies

Quality Control

At least one of the tissue slides from each lot was stained with H & E to ensure the quality
