TAG-1
non-toxic tissue fixative | no protein crosslinking | use the same lab protocols as formalin | designed to optimize molecular tests
TAG-1 is a Class 1 general reagent pursuant to 21 CFR 864.4010 designed to directly replace formalin for tumor tissue fixation. TAG-1 is non-toxic, odorless, does not crosslink proteins, and is designed to improve the quantity and quality of DNA, RNA, and cellular proteins compared to FFPE tissue, while providing excellent cellular morphology, staining, IHC and FISH test pathology results.
Features and Benefits
- Designed to be used for storage and transport of fresh tissues, or a
direct replacement for formalin in tissue processing - Use the same lab protocols as formalin in tissue processing
- Designed to optimize molecular tests, excellent for molecular assays such as DNA-seq, RNA-seq, FISH, etc.
- A non-toxic tissue fixative
- No protein crosslinking, designed to better preserve tissue morphology
- Unique formulation with wide IP protection
TAG-NGPM+ (Next Generation Pathogen Media)
For Research Use Only (RUO)
