Novel Solutions to Overcome Challenges in Tissue Sample Management

The understanding of the mechanisms of life in a biological system presents unique challenges to researchers, especially when dealing with limited and difficult samples (e.g., samples from FFPE materials).

Reasons to listen to the webinar:

• Difficulties and possible pitfalls when working with FFPE sample material will be discussed.
• A number of preparation systems for DNA, RNA, and proteins specially developed for FFPE sample materials will be described and presented.
• A range of sample collection and preparation systems – manual and automated – for the parallel isolation of RNA and/or DNA and/or proteins will be presented to get maximum information from limited sample materials.
• A small case study about the possible role of miRNAs as biomarkers in cancer research will be discussed to underline the importance of standardized workflows.
