Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an improved method for distinguishing tissue from an embedding medium, such as paraffin in a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sample. The method involves the use of fluorescence of naturally-occurring species in tissue to determine the location of the tissue in the embedded sample. An embedded sample is generally excited by light of a selected wavelength, and the fluorescence emission at an emitted wavelength is used to locate the boundary or location of the tissue in the embedded sample.

Abstract: Reagents and methods for extracting and stabilizing metabolites at room temperature and methods in which metabolites and one or more of proteins, lipids and nucleic acids are extracted from a single sample in a unified workflow.

Abstract: Provided in this disclosure are methods and compositions that find use in a variety of multiplex cellular/tissue section analyses. In certain aspects, a tissue section (or planar cellular slide) is stained with a combination of “visible” labels and “invisible” labels for specific targets of interest. The visible labels are observed to obtain a result and then, based on the result, one or more of the invisible labels are detected, e.g., using digital microscopy.

Abstract: A sample probe includes a tip including a distal end for penetrating a cellular membrane, an opening located at or proximal to the distal end, and tip microchannels extending through the tip and communicating with the opening; and a body adjoining the tip and including body microchannels, wherein at least one of the body microchannels communicates with at least one of the tip microchannels. A method for sampling intracellular material includes inserting a probe tip through a cellular membrane; aspirating intracellular material from the cell, through an opening of the tip, and into a first microchannel of the tip; flowing isolator fluid from a second microchannel of the tip into the first microchannel to form a plug of intracellular material; and aspirating the plug and the isolator fluid through the first microchannel.
