Title of Invention: Improved Fixative for Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Samples. ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: Description of Technology Tissues samples collected during medical procedures, such as biopsies, are used to diagnose a wide variety of diseases. Before diagnosis, patient samples are typically processed by fixation and paraffin embedding. This fixation/embedding process is used to preserve tissue morphology and histology for subsequent evaluation. Unfortunately, most fixative agents damage or destroy nucleic acids (RNA and DNA) and proteins, thereby potentially impairing diagnostic assessment of tissue. Researchers in the National Cancer Institute’s Laboratory of Pathology have developed an improved tissue fixative solution that is formaldehyde-free. This fixative, BE70, significantly improves DNA, RNA, and protein biomolecule integrity in histological samples VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:04 Jul 05, 2016 Jkt 238001 Potential Commercial Applications • Improves integrity of fixed tissue samples. • Improves RNA/DNA quality in fixed tissue samples. • Non-cross linking, improves protein quality. Value Proposition • There is substantial interest in new fixatives to replace neutral buffered formalin (a carcinogen) as primary fixative agent for surgical pathology. • BE70 overcomes several limitations of other fixatives, including cost and disposal issues. • Could be formulated as a concentrate, and marketed as an additive (to be added during dilution of ethanol).
