Tissue, Array, Human Tumor, Colon (Frozen)

37 Different Colon Tumors and 3 Corresponding Normal Controls

Tissues were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after excision, and embedded in OCT. All US Biological’s frozen tissue products, including frozen tissue arrays, frozen tissue sections, and frozen tissue panels, can be used for both immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. These products are ideal for rapid cellular localization of RNA and protein expression, especially for antibodies that don't recognize paraffin embedded tissue. At least one of the tissue slides from each lot was stained with H & E to ensure the quality.

Frozen Tissue Array contains up to 45 tissue spots from different tissues on one slide. Each tissue core size is 2 mm diameter. Tissue arrays are 5-8um in thickness, mounted on positively charged glass slides, and fixed by cold acetone. A reference chart shows all the tissue names and their respective position on the array.

Shelf Life: Half a year from the date of receipt under proper storage conditions.
