Human Tissue Samples
Human tissue samples are indispensable biological resources that play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of disease pathology, particularly in the complex field of autoimmune diseases. These samples, derived from both healthy and diseased patients, are utilized for a myriad of applications, including drug discovery, therapeutic development, and diagnostic validation.
Protheragen offers a comprehensive range of human tissue sample products, including fresh frozen tissue and FFPE (Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Embedded) tissue. These products are available in various formats such as tissue blocks and tissue sections, catering to the diverse needs of researchers and pharmaceutical developers.
Fresh Frozen Tissue
Preserved by rapid freezing post-collection, these tissues maintain their biochemical and molecular integrity, making them ideal for molecular biology studies.
FFPE Tissue
Fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin, these tissues offer long-term stability and are suitable for histological examination and immunohistochemistry.

Product Information
| Fresh Frozen Tissue | |
|---|---|
| Preparation Time | Tissues are snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen within 20-30 minutes post-excision to ensure optimal preservation. |
| Sample Weight | Standard samples typically weigh between 0.4 to 0.7 grams, providing sufficient material for various analytical techniques. |
| Storage Conditions | Samples are stored at ultra-low temperatures (-140°C to -180°C) in the vapor phase of liquid nitrogen, preventing degradation and maintaining sample integrity. |
| FFPE Tissue | |
| Fixation and Embedding | Our tissues are fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin for 18-24 hours and embedded in IHC-grade paraffin to ensure optimal preservation and structural integrity. |
| Specimen Size | The standard size of our FFPE specimens is 0.5 x 1 x 1 cm, though customization is available to meet specific research requirements. |
