January 2019—Menarini Silicon Biosystems announced the launch of its DEPArray FFPE Sample­Prep Kit at the Association for Molecular Pathology’s annual meeting. The kit allows for the disaggregation and staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections down to a single-cell suspension. The kit enables the detection, identification, and recovery of different cell populations by the DEPArray system based on specific immunofluorescent staining and DNA content. It has been tested using FFPE human tissue sections of primary and metastatic keratin-positive carcinomas in lung, breast, colon, pancreas, prostate, and ovarian tissues.
