All samples were from surgical resections of gastric or colorectal cancer. We used 10% neutral buffered formaldehyde (formalin; Samchun Chemicals, Pyeongtaek, Korea). The methacarn solution consisted of 60% methanol (Duksan Pure Chemicals, Ansan, Korea), 30% chloroform (Duksan Pure Chemicals), and 10% acetic acid (Duksan Pure Chemicals).
To investigate the effects of decalcification on the quantity and quality of nucleic acids, five samples of gastrointestinal cancer tissue were treated with decalcification solution for 0, 10, 30, 60, 120, and 180 minutes. To evaluate the effects of duration of fixation, we fixed the tissue in formalin for 3, 7, 30, 90, and 180 days at room temperature. In order to compare the influence of formalin, we fixed the tissue in formalin for one day and then stored them in 70% ethanol at 4℃ for 2, 6, 29, 89, and 179 days.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transverse spinal cord sections were used to determine the extent of demyelination. Myelin sheath was visualized by luxol fast blue (LFB) staining, consisting of luxol fast blue 1.0 mg (Sigma-Aldrich), 95% alcohol 100 mL (Merck), 10% acetic acid 5.0 mL (Duksan, Seoul, Korea). Tissue sections were immersed for overnight at 60 °C. The sections were then washed with distilled water, followed by differentiation in 0.05% lithium carbonate (Sigma-Aldrich). Tissue sections were then counterstained with eosin and mounted. Serial longitudinal sections of the spinal cord were cut into 14 μm sections and examined by H&E staining. Volumes of transverse or longitudinal sectioned areas were measured using Image J (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). The individual sub-volumes were obtained by multiplying the sectioned areas between sections, and the sub-volumes were summed to generate the total volume of cavities or spared white matter.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
