The ability to work with fragmented RNA or DNA has raised hopes for genomic or genetic research using FFPE tissue samples. “But traditional extraction methods work well only if you have about a ...

molecular pathology labs often extract the DNA from one formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) slide and the RNA from an adjacent slide,” Dugan explains. This can be time consuming, costly and ...

[69] By using a standardized protocol and commercial extraction kits, they found that the interlaboratory reproducibility was 100% when fungal DNA was extracted from 30 slide cuts of FFPE tissues.
