Qiagen, 765312, PAXgene Tissue FIX Container (50 ml)

For fixation and stabilization of tissue specimen: 10 prefilled Reagent Containers containing 50 ml of PAXgene Tissue FIX

Features

- Preservation of both morphology and biomolecules
- Fixation and paraffin embedding without formalin
- Improved molecular results from fixed tissues
- Tissue can be stored and archived for later processing
- RNA, miRNA, DNA, and/or proteins from one sample

Performance

The fixation and stabilization method preserves tissue morphology and the integrity of nucleic acids without destructive crosslinking and degradation found in formalin-fixed tissues (see figure " Preservation of tissue morphology "). When fixed tissue is stored in PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER, the nucleic acids, proteins, and morphology of the tissue sample are stable for up to 7 days at room temperature (15–25°C) or for up to 4 weeks at 2–8°C. Tissue samples can even be stored in the PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER for longer periods at –20°C (–15°C to –30°C) or –80°C (–65°C to –90°C) without negative effects on the morphology of the tissue or the integrity of the nucleic acids. Specifications for fixation and storage conditions in PAXgene Tissue FIX and PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER were determined using animal tissues. >
