产品详情

PAXgene Tissue FIX Container (50 ml)可固定并稳定组织样本（该产品具有4个标准组织保存仓，最多可处理4个样本，每个样本体积最大可达4 x 15 x 15 mm；也可处理单个样本，其最大体积为20 x 20 x 20 mm）。PAXgene Tissue FIX Containers (50 ml)为预装有50 ml PAXgene Tissue FIX溶液的单腔容器。PAXgene Tissue FIX可快速浸透并固定组织，保存组织形态。其固定效果与福尔马林固定相当，但不会损伤核酸，无核酸交联和降解。固定后，去除PAXgene Tissue FIX，并在同一容器中加入PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER。样本中的核酸、蛋白质和样本的组织形态可在室温下保持长达7天，在2–8°C、–20°C或–80°C可保存更长时间。稳定的样本可包埋在石蜡中用于组织学研究。PAXgene Tissue Kits配合补充实验方案可从上述样本中，高效进行后续的RNA、miRNA、DNA和/或蛋白质纯化。

PAXgene Tissue FIX Container (50 ml)仅可与PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER配合使用。

绩效

这种固定和稳定方法在保持组织形态和核酸完整性的同时，不会产生像在福尔马林固定中产生的交联和降解现象（参见"Fixation and preservation of tissue morphology"）。

固定的组织储存在PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER中时，其中的核酸、蛋白质和样本的组织形态可在室温下保持长达7天（15–25°C），或在2–8°C保存长达4周。组织样本可在PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER中，在–20°C（–15°C至–30°C）或–80°C（–65°C至–90°C）保存更长时间，而不会对组织形态或核酸完整性有不良影响。

PAXgene Tissue FIX和PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER的固定和储存条件的参数为通过动物组织测定。

原理

目前传统组织学所使用的固定方法对分子分析的应用带来诸多限制。含有福尔马林的固定剂与生物分子交联，修饰核酸和蛋白质。在组织固定、储存和处理过程中，交联导致核酸降解。因为无法完全去除交联，其引起的化学修饰将抑制敏感的下游应用，如定量PCR或RT-PCR。为了实现对同一样本进行分子病理检测和传统病理检测，需要一种方法在固定分子的同时保存组织形态。

PreAnalytiX研制了PAXgene Tissue System以满足这些需求。该体系包括组织固定试剂（PAXgene Tissue FIX）、稳定试剂（PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER）、预装有试剂、用于组织采集、固定、储存及运输的装置、以及用于纯化RNA、DNA或包括miRNA在内的总RNA的试剂盒。此外，在www.preanalytix.com或本页面的资源选项卡下，提供纯化蛋白质的补充实验方案和其他应用信息。

容器中预装有PAXgene Tissue Reagents，配合PAXgene Tissue Kits提供了用于组织的采集、固定和稳定，以及纯化高品质核酸用于分子研究的完整解决方案。

程序

PAXgene Tissue FIX Containers (50 ml)为预装有50 ml PAXgene Tissue FIX溶液的单腔容器。PAXgene Tissue FIX Container (50 ml)可容纳4个标准组织保存仓（需另购），最多可处理4个样本，每个样本体积最大可达4 x 15 x 15 mm。PAXgene Tissue FIX Containers (50 ml)也可处理较大样本，其最大体积为20 x 20 x 20 mm。

PAXgene Tissue FIX可快速浸透并固定组织。固定2至48小时后（取决于组织大小），去除PAXgene Tissue FIX，并在同一容器中加入PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER。稳定的样本可包埋在石蜡中用于组织学研究。核酸和蛋白质纯化可在石蜡包埋之前后之后进行。请参见PAXgene Tissue Kit用户手册，了解DNA、RNA或miRNA的纯化信息。此外，在www.preanalytix.com或本页面的资源选项卡下，提供纯化蛋白质的补充实验方案和其他应用信息。

应用

PAXgene Tissue试剂固定、石蜡包埋的组织切片（PFPE）可用于形态学研究或核酸或蛋白质的纯化。从PAXgene Tissue试剂固定并稳定的组织样本中纯化RNA、包括miRNA在内的总RNA或DNA时，需要使用相应的PAXgene Tissue Kit。纯化蛋白质时需要使用Qproteome FFPE Kit。

FAQ

The PAXgene Tissue System involves two processes: fixation and stabilization. PAXgene Tissue FIX provides rapid penetration and fixation that effectively stops all enzymatic activity throughout the tissue. PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER stops fixation and stabilizes the specimen for transportation and storage until processing.

FAQ ID - 3603

Yes. PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER can be used to fill the first position of a tissue processor. See the appendices of the PAXgene Tissue Container Product Circular and PAXgene Tissue FIX Container (50 ml) Product Circular for processing protocols with integrated PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER. When the STABILIZER is included as the first step of a protocol, tissue can be transferred from PAXgene Tissue FIX directly into the first processing position.

FAQ ID - 3608

The PAXgene Tissue System uses an acidic alcoholic fixation without formalin that does not result in cross-linking of biomolecules.

FAQ ID - 3600

No. For storage at –15°C to –30°C or –65°C to –90°C use cryogenic vials with screw caps filled with PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER. For safety reasons, note that the PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER contains 70% ethanol.

FAQ ID -3030

Yes, there is co-purification of small RNAs. However, due to the purification chemistry, RNA molecules smaller than approximately 200 nucleotides are recovered with less efficiency. For purification of total RNA, including miRNA and other small RNA molecules of at least 18 nucleotides, use the PAXgene Tissue miRNA Kit.

FAQ ID - 3615

DNA and RNA isolated from PFCE tissue specimens are of high quantity and quality, comparable to PFPE tissue.

FAQ ID - 3613

Parallel processing of formalin-fixed and PAXgene Tissue fixed samples can lead to reduction of nucleic acid yield and integrity from PAXgene Tissue fixed samples through formalin contamination of reagents.

FAQ ID - 3606

No. Procedures developed for the extraction of biomolecules from FFPE tissues include prolonged proteinase K digestion and heating steps to remove chemical modifications introduced by formalin. Since the PAXgene Tissue System does not chemically modify biomolecules, these steps are not necessary and, in fact, lead to degradation of biomolecules. Instead, use dedicated PAXgene Tissue kits and supplementary protocols for extraction of biomolecules from PAXgene Tissue treated samples.

FAQ ID - 3610

The stabilization reagent of PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER contains alcohol and other stabilization agents.

FAQ ID - 3602

For samples up to 4 x 15 x 15 mm fixed in a standard tissue cassette, incubate tissue specimen(s) at room temperature (15–25°C) for a minimum of 2 hours, but preferably 3–24 hours. For samples up to 20 x 20 x 20 mm fixed in the PAXgene Tissue FIX Container (50 ml), incubate for 6–48 hours, but preferably 8–24 hours. For biopsies with a thickness of 1 mm or less, fixation time can be reduced to 1 hour. Prolonged fixation times of up to 120 hours (e.g. over the weekend) is possible. Please note that fixation longer than the indicated times may lead to degradation of biomolecules.

FAQ ID -2519

Depending on tissue type, standard storage conditions in PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER are a minimum of 2 hours and up to 7 days at room temperature (15–25°C) or up to 4 weeks at 2–8°C. For longer storage, samples can be kept in PAXgene Tissue STABILIZER at–15°C to –30°C or –65°C to –90°C. Long-term storage studies are ongoing. For latest results, see the poster RNA and Morphology Preservation after 5 years at –20°C and 3 years at –80°C under the Product Resources tab.

FAQ ID - 3605

Yes, human tissue samples treated with the PAXgene Tissue System were successfully used for Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and Chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH). However, specimens treated with the PAXgene Tissue System are more sensitive to enzyme digestion compared to formalin-fixed samples. Enzyme digestion and other pretreatment steps may need to be optimized.

FAQ ID -2529

Most antibodies used in IHC assays were developed for use with formalin-fixed tissue and include steps for unmasking epitopes. When working with PAXgene Tissue treated specimens, test for each antibody to determine if it is necessary to perform antigen-retrieval steps. In addition, it may be necessary to optimize antigen-retrieval steps or adjust antibody concentrations in PFPE tissue to achieve optimal staining intensities (see Technical Note Effect of epitope retrieval conditions on immunohistochemical staining of PFPE tonsil tissue with anti-human Ki-67 antigen (clone MIB-1) under the Product Resources tab). Examples for IHC staining of adjacent human tissue sections fixed with neutral-buffered formalin or with PAXgene Tissue reagents are provided in the Tissue Atlas at www.preanalytix.com.

FAQ ID - 3609

Up to 4 standard tissue cassettes, each containing tissue samples with a maximum size of 4 x 15 x 15 mm, can be placed into a PAXgene Tissue FIX Container (50 ml). Alternatively, a single tissue sample with a maximum size of 20 x 20 x 20 mm can be fixed directly in a PAXgene Tissue FIX Container (50 ml). If using a larger tissue sample surrounded by fat (e.g., from a lymph node) or capsule (e.g., from kidney, liver or spleen tissue), partially cut into the tissue every 5 mm (lamination) to enhance permeation of the fixative reagent. If a sample is larger than recommended, the fast and even penetration of fixation reagent is compromised. In such cases, a reduction in the quality of tissue morphology and the integrity of nucleic acids may result.

FAQ ID - 3604

Yes. Supplementary protocols are available for the purification of full-length proteins from PAXgene Tissue fixed (PF) tissue and paraffin blocks using the Qproteome FFPE Tissue Kit (QIAGEN, cat. no. 37623). For more information, see the corresponding supplementary protocols under the Product Resources tab.

FAQ ID - 3616

Human tissue samples treated with the PAXgene Tissue System were successfully used for periodic acid schiff (PAS), resorcin fuchsin, sirius red, and Gomori staining (Kap et al., PLoS ONE 6(11): e27704). However, to achieve the same staining intensities with both PFPE and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, it may be necessary to adjust incubation times.

FAQ ID -2530

PFPE tissue blocks can be stored at 2–25°C for short-term storage or transport. However, biomolecules within paraffin blocks will undergo slow chemical degradation. To better preserve morphology and biomolecule integrity within the paraffin-embedded tissue, store PFPE blocks at–30°C to –15°C. For the latest results on long-term storage of PFPE and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, see poster RT-PCR Performance of RNA Obtained from Archived FFPE and PFPE Blocks of Tissue under the Product Resources tab.

FAQ ID -2524

To prevent biomolecule degradation during processing, dehydration must begin with at least 70–100% ethanol. We recommend using low-melting paraffin (melting point ≤56°C) and do not incubate samples in liquid paraffin for more than 3 hours.

Processing protocols for the PAXgene Tissue System are listed in the appendices of the PAXgene Tissue Container Product Circular and PAXgene Tissue FIX Container (50 ml) Product Circular.

FAQ ID -2523

Yes. Comparable morphology was observed in adjacent pieces from a tissue sample fixed either with neutral-buffered formalin or with the PAXgene Tissue System for a variety of human and animal tissue (Gündisch et al., Virchows Arch. 2014 Aug; Kap et al., PLoS ONE 6(11): e27704). Examples are provided in the Tissue Atlas at www.preanalytix.com. PAXgene Tissue treated specimens have a tendency to be more eosinophilic. If an identical staining pattern to formalin-fixed samples is required, the incubation time in eosin should be reduced.

FAQ ID -2526

Yes. PreAnalytiX has developed a workflow and protocols for cryo-embedding tissue specimens fixed and stabilized in either the PAXgene Tissue Container or the PAXgene Tissue FIX Container (50 ml). A supplementary protocol for generating PAXgene® Tissue fixed, cryo-embedded (PFCE) tissues is available under the Product Resources tab.

FAQ ID -2525

RNA yield depends on several parameters, such as tissue type, time from resection until fixation, fixation time (ideally 2 to 4 hours), processing protocol used and age and storage conditions of the PFPE block.

In a study with PFPE tissue sections (area: 100 mm²; thickness: 10 µm) median RNA yield from rat liver was 4.2 µg (n=58), from kidney 2.2 µg (n=58), from spleen 4.7 µg (n=58), from intestine 4.7 µg (n=58) and from lung 0.9 µg (n=58) (see Technical Note "Yield, purity, and integrity of RNA purified from PAXgene Tissue fixed, paraffin-embedded (PFPE) rat tissue" under the Product Resources tab).

FAQ ID -2534

Regular PAXgene Tissue Kits can be used for the extraction of RNA, miRNA and DNA from PFCE tissue. Supplementary protocols specifically developed for the extraction of biomolecules from PFCE samples are available under the Product Resources tab.

FAQ ID - 3614

The PAXgene Tissue fixation and stabilization chemistry is free of cross-linking reagents. RNA purified from PFPE and PFCE is free of chemical modifications and performs similarly or identically to RNA isolated from frozen tissue. For examples of the correlation of gene expression levels in snap frozen tissue, FFPE, and PFPE, see Figure 4 in Groelz et al., Exp Mol Pathol. 2013 Feb; 94(1) and Figure 3 in Viertler et al., J Mol Diagn. 2012 Sep; 14(5).

FAQ ID -2538

PAXgene Tissue Kits can be used for extraction of RNA, miRNA and DNA from microdissected PFPE and PFCE tissue. Supplementary protocols developed specifically for the extraction of biomolecules from microdissected PFPE and PFCE samples are available under the Product Resources tab.

FAQ ID - 3617

The PAXgene Tissue DNA, RNA, and miRNA Kits are based on proven QIAGEN technologies. Nucleic acids isolated with these kits are generally of high purity.

On average, measurements of the A₂₆₀/A₂₈₀ ratio for DNA purified with the PAXgene Tissue DNA Kit are >1.7, and ratios for RNA and miRNA purified with the PAXgene Tissue RNA or miRNA Kits are both >1.8.

For examples of RNA purity see Technical Note "Yield, purity, and integrity of RNA purified from PAXgene Tissue fixed, paraffin-embedded (PFPE) rat tissue" under the Product Resources tab.

FAQ ID -2533

The fixation reagent of PAXgene Tissue FIX contains alcohols and an acid, in addition to other stabilization agents.

FAQ ID - 3601

Yes. All processors commonly used for formalin-fixed samples can be used to produce PAXgene Tissue fixed, paraffin-embedded (PFPE) blocks of tissue. However, when processing PAXgene Tissue-treated specimens, do not use reagents contaminated with formalin. Residual formalin can lead to significant reduction of nucleic acid yield and integrity from PFPE tissue samples (see Technical Note “Influence of formalin contamination during processing of PAXgene Tissue fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue (PFPE) on RNA yield, integrity, and performance in quantitative RT-PCR”). Therefore, always use separate batches of reagents (alcohol, xylene, or xylene substitutes) for processing PAXgene Tissue fixed and formalin-fixed samples.

FAQ ID -3032

In contrast to DNA isolated from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, DNA from PFPE tissue exhibits high molecular weight. In most cases, a distinct 10 kb band is observed in electrophoretically separated DNA eluates. For an example, see Figure 2 in the Technical Note Quantitative analysis of KRAS and BRAF mutational status in DNA from PAXgene Tissue fixed, paraffin-embedded (PFPE) tissue using Pyrosequencing technology under the Product Resources tab.

FAQ ID - 3612

Yes. Supplementary protocols for generating sections from PAXgene Tissue fixed, Paraffin-embedded (PFPE) and PAXgene Tissue fixed, cryo-embedded (PFCE) tissue blocks for manual and laser microdissection are available under the Product Resources tab.

FAQ ID -2531

Similar to yield, RNA integrity depends on several parameters, such as tissue type, time from resection until fixation, fixation time, processing protocol, age and storage conditions of the PFPE block. For examples of RNA integrity values from rat tissues under ideal workflow conditions, see Groelz et al., Exp Mol Pathol. 2013 Feb; 94(1). For examples of RNA integrity from clinical samples, see Viertler et al., J Mol Diagn. 2012 Sep; 14(5).

FAQ ID - 3611

Proteins from PAXgene Tissue fixed, PAXgene Tissue fixed, paraffin-embedded (PFPE) and PAXgene Tissue fixed, cryo-embedded (PFCE) tissues are non-degraded, immunoreactive and have been successfully investigated by western blot analysis, reverse-phase protein arrays, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and MALDI imaging mass spectrometry.

FAQ ID - 3619

In contrast to FFPE, DNA purified from PFPE and PFCE is of high molecular weight, free of chemical modifications. In demanding downstream applications, such as multiplex or long-range PCR, it performs similarly or identically to DNA isolated from frozen tissue. For examples, see, Figure 5 in Viertler et al., J Mol Diagn. 2012 Sep; 14(5).

FAQ ID - 3618

Fixation is performed within a standard tissue cassette. The maximum sample size is 4 x 15 x 15 mm, so that the sample fits in the cassette without requiring physical pressure to close the lid. The cassette should leave no marks or grid impressions on the tissue.

FAQ ID -2518

No. Special cleaning is not required. However, be sure to change the alcohol and xylene (or xylene substitute), and keep separate batches of reagents for processing PAXgene Tissue fixed samples. Reagents contaminated with formalin can lead to reduced nucleic acid yields and integrity.

FAQ ID - 3607
