What are FFPE samples?

FFPE stands for formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human tissue specimens used for experimental, diagnostic, and therapeutic research purposes for decades. The human tissue is preserved for research by fixing in an aldehyde known as formalin and later embedded in paraffin wax to form FFPE samples or FFPE block.

How do you store FFPE samples for research?

It is advisable to store FFPE samples in an airtight container, preferably in the refrigerator at 4 degree Celsius. Some FFPE can be stored at room temperature also.

What are the advantages of using FFPE tissue samples in research?

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) method helps long-term tissue storage, preserving morphology, proteins, and cellular details. It is used for multiple research purposes, including diagnostic, therapeutic, biotech research, and genetic studies. Moreover, FFPE samples are stored at ambient (room) temperature, and therefore no sophisticated device is required for sample banking.

How are FFPEs samples prepared?

The tissue or organ samples are collected through resection or biopsy from the patient or donor. After excision, the specimens are immersed in 10% neutral buffer formalin for approximately 24 hours. Subsequently, the formalin-fixed tissue specimens are dehydrated by concentrates of ethanol and embedded in paraffin wax to form FFPE blocks. These FFPE samples are sliced into thin sections ideal for microscopic histopathological examination. Finally, a qualified registered pathologist ascertains and certifies the quality of the specimens.
