The Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Protein Extraction Kit from MtoZ Biolabs is a specialized product designed to efficiently recover intact proteins from formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples for downstream proteomics and biochemical analysis.
Product Overview
Paraffin-embedded tissues present significant challenges during protein extraction due to fixation chemistry and the presence of hydrophobic embedding materials. Researchers often encounter:
1. Crosslinked Proteins with Reduced Solubility
Formalin fixation induces extensive crosslinking that alters protein structure, decreases solubility, and limits extraction efficiency, particularly for low-abundance or structurally sensitive proteins.
2. Residual Paraffin Interference
Paraffin components hinder buffer penetration, dilute effective lysis strength, and introduce hydrophobic contaminants that interfere with quantification, electrophoresis, and mass spectrometry.
3. Incomplete Reversal of Fixation Effects
Many standard lysis buffers fail to sufficiently reverse protein crosslinks, resulting in fragmented recovery and loss of important epitopes required for immunoblotting or proteomic workflows.
Advantages
✔️Effective Removal of Paraffin Residues
A refined deparaffinization system improves solvent access, eliminates hydrophobic barriers, and enables efficient penetration of extraction buffers into fixed tissues.
✔️Enhanced Reversal of Crosslinking
Specialized buffer chemistry promotes controlled reversal of formaldehyde-induced crosslinks, improving protein solubility and preserving functional epitopes for downstream assays.
✔️High-Purity Lysates Suitable for Proteomics
MtoZ Biolabs' Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Protein Extraction Kit reduces lipid, pigment, and chemical interference and produces clean lysates compatible with SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, LC-MS, and immunoassay-based analyses.
