What are FFPE Human Tissue Samples?

FFPE (Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded) are prepared by fixing fresh tissue in formaldehyde to preserve the cellular structures and proteins. The fixed tissue is then dehydrated, cleared, and embedded in paraffin wax. Afterwards, it will be cut into small slices and transferred to a coverslip for further analysis. Central BioHub is the biggest provider for FFPE samples worldwide, which are commonly used by researchers in histological and immunohistochemical tissue studies, genomic and transcriptomic analysis as well as investigations that aim to discover new biomarkers.

What are Frozen Tissue Samples?

Frozen tissue samples can be obtained by freezing biological tissue at ultra-low temperatures usually below -80 °C. In this process, cellular integrity and molecular components can be maintained and tissue damage due to ice crystal formation minimized. Therefore, tissue samples from miscellaneous sources and time periods can be analysed retrospectively, which enables researchers to study disease progression, genetic mutations and gene expression patterns in terms of epidemiological and epigenetic questions.

How long can you store Human Tissue Samples?

Human tissue samples can be stored for several years and sometimes even decades in specialized cryogenic freezers. However, proper handling and storage of frozen tissue samples are crucial to maintain their quality over a long period of time. As a certified distributor of human biospecimen, suppliers and logistical partners of Central BioHub undergo quality checks and validations during their onboarding process to provide flawless shipping and high-quality samples for our customers at any time.

What makes FFPE and frozen tissue samples different compared to other specimens?

Besides the benefits of long-term storage and the preservation of cellular structures, FFPE and frozen tissue samples allow researchers to combine biochemical and genetic data acquired by biotechnological methods with the spatial information of human tissue samples. This approach offers the opportunity of mapping gene expression patterns and molecular structures with the tissue architecture itself, resulting in valuable and detailed insights that lead to an improved biological understanding or result in the discovery of new possible targets for biomedical treatment approaches.
