Both processing methods—formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) and flash-frozen—effectively preserve biospecimens. However, the choice between them depends upon the specific application. BioIVT, ...

Samples are commonly stored in a way that degrades RNA. Scientists are devising new ways to overcome this obstacle for RNA sequencing. RNA is more subject to degradation than DNA, whether chemical, ...

New Ionic ® FFPE to Pure RNA Kit features simple, automated workflow for higher yields of pure RNA, including mRNA and miRNA, with less than five minutes of hands-on time per sample PLEASANTON, Calif.

Horizon Discovery Group plc (LSE: HZD), a global leader in the application of gene editing and gene modulation for cell line engineering, today announced it has added two new sample formats to its ...

New method enables single cell discovery from archived tissue samples, expanding access to translational and clinical research SEATTLE, November 18, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Parse Biosciences, the ...

RNA expression from almost 1,000 genes mapped at single cell and subcellular resolution within non-small cell lung cancer samples SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NanoString Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: NSTG) ...

Prognostic significance of LINE-1 methylation level in the upper gastrointestinal cancer. Prospective study of oncogenic mutations in circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) using a multiplex sequencing ...

5T4 oncofetal antigen as a prognostic marker and target for treatment in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Target volume delineation in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and ...

As technologies and methodologies advance, so do the potential applications for biospecimens. In this article, we explore seven uses of FFPE, ranging from the common to the cutting-edge.

DNA fragmentation is a critical step in preparing DNA libraries for short read-based protocols. The two primary methods are mechanical shearing (using acoustic technology like Covaris) and enzymatic ...

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sampling is often used to preserve cancer research samples. However, formalin fixing damages DNA molecules and reduces their fragment length although sequences ...
