FFPE & PlasmaMatched Sets
Why do researchers need matched
FFPE & Plasma sets?
Like bad guys , tumors can be d i ff i cu l t to detect and mon i tor.
Blood based b iops i e s cou ld prov ide a so lut ion for these prob lems .
WANTED
To opt imize b lood based b iopsy techn iques , methods , and equ ipment ,
researchers need access to both t i s sue and b lood.

• Quality control process overseen by 2 U.S. licensed pathologists
• Blocks generally larger because they have not been cut and re-embedded
• Clinical sites with new inventory that has not been picked over
And a wide array of FFPE
Patient Profiles
I nc lud ing matched FFPE/plasma sets
• Breast, Colon, and Kidney Cancers
• All samples are pre-treatment
• All stages represented
• Base demographic data
• Pathology report
• Current treatment
• Block QC data

Blood co l l ec ted jus t before surg i ca l resect ion in EDTA tubes
Blood spun down to p lasma qu i ck ly and s tored at -80°C
Plasma i s then matched wi th FFPE resected tumor t i s sue
New blood based b iops i e s on the way!
