Diagnostic and investigative molecular pathology frequently has to resort to extraction of DNA from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue samples. Although many different protocols are reported for this type of material, extraction of sufficient amounts of intact DNA is still challenging. Here, the authors report a reproducible, simple, cost-effective, and efficient protocol that yields up to 140 μg of DNA from approximately 10 to 15 mg of formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue… Expand

Comparison of eight commercially available kits for DNA extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that overnight digestion of samples usually improved DNA yield and/or purity and for precious or limited material, double elution is recommended for obtaining up to 42% higher amount of DNA. Expand

TLDR
Nucleic acids extracted from paraffin blocks were degraded, even at lower fixation times, and archived tissues showed a poorer amplification, suggesting a gold standard protocol for DNA/RNA isolation from canine tumor FFPE blocks for molecular investigations is still troublesome. Expand
Comparison of Two Deparaffinization Techniques and Three DNA Extraction Methods from Paraffin-Embedded Biopsies
| The formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissues (FFPET) represent an important source of biological material. However, the quality of the extracted DNA from such biopsies is often poor probably… Expand
Comparison of various methods for DNA extraction from human isolated paraffin-embedded hydatid cyst samples
TLDR
This simple and high throughput DNA extraction method with high yield and quality can be recommended for extraction of DNA from formalin fixed and paraffin-embedded hydatid cysts. Expand
Excavation of a buried treasure--DNA, mRNA, miRNA and protein analysis in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues.
TLDR
This review gives an overview on current potentials and limitations of the quantification of DNA, miRNA, mRNA and the proteome in FFPE tissue samples. Expand
High quality DNA obtained with an automated DNA extraction method with 70+ year old formalin-fixed celloidin-embedded (FFCE) blocks from the indiana medical history museum.
TLDR
The results show that usable DNA can be extracted from tissue fixed in formalin and embedded in celloidin or paraffin from the early 1900's to present, and may be amplified through PCR and used for clinical and experimental studies. Expand

TLDR
Low-grade and subcutaneous MCTs were less likely to amplify directly after DNA extraction and without any washing steps compared to high-grade M CTs using KIT gene primers, and DNA concentration and quality either pre- or post-washing were not associated with ability of the samples to be amplified by PCR using both HPRT and KIT primer sets.

Validation of DNA methylation profiling in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded colon and breast tissue using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 Microarray
TLDR
The usability of Illumina’s DNA restoration protocol is examined to allow for routinely analysis of formalin-fixed tissue specimens with the Infinium HumanMethylation450 technology, and good correlation between matched FF and FFPE DNA-restored tissue specimens is showed. Expand
Detection of Fowl Adenovirus DNA from Formalin-Fixed and Paraffin-Embedded Sections by PCR and Classification of Serotypes by Sequencing of PCR Products
TLDR
PCR and sequencing of PCR products of the liver FFPE sections suggested that the detected FAV was serotype 8a, which is useful for diagnosis and epidemiologic analysis of FAV infections. Expand
Weigners Fixative–An Alternative to Formalin Fixation for Histology With Improved Preservation of Nucleic Acids
TLDR
Weigners fixative is a nonhazardous alternative to formalin, which provides a good morphologic preservation of most organs, a similar sensitivity for protein detection, and a superior preservation of nucleic acids, and may be a promising alternative to cryopreservation. Expand

An efficient protocol for genomic DNA extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues.
TLDR
This work was able to obtain high quality DNA from FFPET of thirty six CMT that were subjected to pre-fixation and fixation processes routinely used in the veterinary hospitals to provide FFPet gDNA that can be amplified and sequenced for larger fragments up to 1182bp. Expand
High-quality genomic DNA extraction from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples deparaffinized using mineral oil
TLDR
The results suggested that DNA extracted from 140 long-term archived FFPE samples using a simple but effective deparaffinization method is likely to be suitable for genetic studies involving DNA fragments <200 bp. Expand
Efficiency evaluation of a DNA extraction and purification protocol on archival formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue.
TLDR
It is shown that the method, using phenol-chloroform and the QIAamp DNA mini Kit (Qiagen), was the most effective DNA extraction and purification method and that the DNA quantity extracted from liver is statistically more important than that extracted from heart. Expand
Evaluation of DNA extraction methods and real time PCR optimization on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues.
TLDR
This study indicates that DNA obtained from formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue is highly fragmented and can be used for successful amplification of shorter amplification products up to 250 bp in length. Expand

TLDR
A study involving 10 major extraction methods used to isolate total nucleic acid from FFPE tissues ranging in age from 3 to 13years shows quantitatively that TrimGen's WaxFree method and the in-house phenol-chloroform extraction method recovered the highest yields of amplifiable DNA and the most amplifiable RNA.
