Long-term preservation: Tissues preserved using FFPE can be stored for many years without significant degradation, making them valuable for retrospective studies. Compatibility with various techniques: FFPE samples can be used for multiple downstream applications, including histological staining, IHC, and molecular assays like PCR and sequencing. Cost-effective: The chemicals and equipment required for FFPE are relatively inexpensive, making it a cost-effective method for tissue preservation.
