BACKGROUND DNA extraction from paraffin wax embedded tissue requires special protocols, and most described methods report an amplification success rate of 60-80%. AIMS To propose a simple and inexpensive protocol consisting of xylene/ethanol dewaxing, followed by a kit based extraction. METHOD Xylene/ethanol dewaxing was followed by a long rehydration step and a kit based DNA extraction ste...

Raman spectroscopy is a non-destructive, non-invasive, rapid and economical technique which has the potential to be an excellent method for the diagnosis of cancer and understanding disease progression through retrospective studies of archived tissue samples. Historically, biobanks are generally comprised of formalin fixed paraffin preserved tissue and as a result these specimens are often used...

Micrometer order magnetophotonic crystals with periodic arranged metallic glass and oxide glass composite materials were fabricated by stereolithographic method to reflect electromagnetic waves in terahertz frequency ranges through Bragg diffraction. In the fabrication process, the photo sensitive acrylic resin paste mixed with micrometer sized metallic glass of Fe72B14.4Si9.6Nb4 and oxide glas...

The authors reviewed the statistics of winter diesel fuel consumption in Russian Federation for 2000–2017, revealed a positive growth rate. On this fact, relevance study was substantiated. complexity and importance refining process leads to need digitalization oil refineries. object is obtaining fuel, taking into account transport costs. subject on base constructing mathematical model delivery ...

Reduced acid-fast staining of leprosy bacilli occurs during the dewaxing of paraffin sections by xylene and alcohols; the older and more decrepit bacilli being especially affected. By the use of non-deparaffinized sections, the leprosy bacilli which could not be stained with the usual carbol fuchsin are strongly stained. Moreover, non-deparafinized sections can be used for the periodic acid-car...

The transfer of mid-infrared spectral histopathology to the clinic will be possible provided that its application in clinical practice is simple. Rapid analysis formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue section thus a prerequisite. chemical dewaxing these samples before image acquisition used by majority studies contradiction with this principle. Fortunately, silico images acquired on FFPE...
