FFPE Tissue Blocks & Slides Collection
August 2021
At the Diagnostic & Research Institute for Pathology, Med Uni Graz, tissue samples taken during surgical interventions are examined for making a diagnosis. These tissue samples are prepared according to a standardized protocol, fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin (FFPE). The resulting FFPE tissue blocks and histology sections from over 1 million patients are stored at room temperature in the archive cabinets of Biobank Graz. In addition to diagnoses and histophathological findings, survival data and sub-cohorts with digitized sections are also available for research in anonymized form.
