Protocols
A. For FFPE Tissue Sections – Slide Staining
- Deparaffinization: Deparaffinization Solution – 6 minutes x 2
- Rehydration: 100% Alcohol – 2 minutes x 2. 95% Alcohol- 2 minutes x 2
- Final Step: Rinse in deionized (DI) water – 2 minutes
B. For FFPE Tissue Sections – RNA/DNA Isolation
- Deparaffinization: Deparaffinization Solution – 6 minutes x 2
- Rehydration: 100% Alcohol – 2 minutes x 2
- Final Step: Air dry thoroughly before collecting tissue sections into eppendorf tube from slides for RNA/DNA Isolation.
C. For FFPE Tissue Scrolls (in Tube) – RNA/DNA Isolation
- Add 1 ml Deparaffinization Solution to the tube containing 1-4 tissue scrolls at thickness of 6-10µm. Incubate at 37°C for 5 minutes.
- Centrifuge at full speed for 5 minutes.
- Discard the supernatant and retain the pellet.
- Add 1 ml of 100% Alcohol and incubate at 37°C for 1 minute.
- Centrifuge at full speed for 5 minutes.
- Discard the supernatant and retain the pellet.
