Amsbio has expanded its range of high-quality FFPE tissues and controls designed to support biomarker discovery, histopathology, translational research and assay development.
Although FFPE samples maintain tissue structure for histological analysis, RNA damage from fixation, embedding, and storage increases with time and storage temperature. Sub-optimal tissue quality is one of the leading causes of misleading biomarker research.
Including normal adjacent tissues, special disease samples and over 30 types of human cancer tissues, such as breast, lung, prostate, and adrenal cancers, the new Acepix range uses young tissue blocks, acquired within three years, stored through cold storage to preserve RNA, DNA, and protein.
These ethically sourced, strictly selected human FFPE tissue blocks provide excellent specimens for spatial biomarker analyses. The high molecular quality of these FFPE tissue samples gives scientists confidence in the quality of the derived data.
Leveraging decades of experience, Amsbio provides a collection of frozen and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human and animal tissue samples from normal and many diseased tissue types.
All FFPE tissue blocks are processed using standard clinical procedures under Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved protocols. A board-licensed pathologist pathologically verifies and quality-assesses each tissue sample before shipping it with donor demographics and clinical details.
