Optimized Lysis System: Ideal for Extraction of Genomic DNA from Different Kinds of FFPE Tissue Samples

FFPE tissue samples are an important source of DNA for retrospective studies of gene expression patterns or mutation analysis. Nevertheless, the amount of the tissue and paraffin varies from sample to sample and the DNA is modified due to the fixation by formaldehyde. This application note demonstrates the use of Analytik Jena's blackPREP FFPE DNA kit for extracting high quality DNA from different kinds of FFPE tissue with varying paraffin amount.
