Cut 15 tissue sections of 5μm thickness for RNA extraction
Unify the orientation of the tissue sections when picking them up.
After picking up, allow the tissue sections to dry naturally. Avoid paraffin melting.
Be sure to write your facility's specimen control number (any alphanumeric number) on the slide.
*Assign specimen control numbers by your facility. Write the identical specimen control number on the slide.
Be sure to write sequence numbers 1-15 on the slides in the order in which the tissue sections were thin sliced.
Attach the barcode (attached to OncotypeDX Kit Box) to each slide.
*When preparing specimens, please note the following to avoid contamination.
Use a new part of the microtome blade (or a new blade) for each case.
Use clean water when picking up the tissue sections.
Use disposable gloves, etc. when thin slicing. Avoid using bare hands.
