Re-Access Samples For Multiple Analyses.

Typically, a thawed fecal sample must be tested immediately and cannot be re-used. Frozen aliquotting enables re-analysis of fecal samples and facilitates the distribution of frozen sample aliquots for multiple analyses. For laboratories routinely performing fecal analyses, automated aliquotting of frozen samples reduces sample handling and improves the safety, efficacy and efficiency of sample processing and analysis.More researchers are processing both fresh frozen and FFPE tissue. Frozen tissue avoids chemical cross-linking and enables analyses that are not compatible with FFPE. With frozen aliquotting, researchers can easily store and test frozen tissue without repeated freeze-thaw cycles.Biomarkers may be relevant only in certain cell types of the same tissue. Frozen aliquotting enables researchers to easily investigate specific tumor or tissue regions and is easily integrated into the traditional pathology work flow. After staining and examination of a tissue sample, specific tissue sections can be targeted for frozen aliquotting and testing. Recent applications include placental tissue/epigenomics (DNA, RNA), melanoma/tumor enrichment and uterine tissue/genomics (RNA).
