The present invention concerns the methods and compositions for preparing a tissue section or biological sample, particularly to preserve RNA in the section or sample, by not exposing or contacting the sample or section to a solution that is composed of mostly water. Tissue sections can be fixed, stained, and dehydrated for subsequent manipulation, including laser capture microdissection (LCM) for further analysis using methods and/or compositions of the invention.
本发明涉及制备组织切片或
生物样本的方法和组合物,特别是通过不将样本或切片暴露或接触主要由
水组成的溶液来保存切片或样本中的 RNA。可对组织切片进行固定、染色和脱
水处理,以便后续操作,包括使用本发明的方法和/或组合物进行进一步分析的激光捕获显微切割(LCM)。
