The relative mean DNA content calculation was performed by flow cytometry on single cell suspensions prepared from fresh and paraffin-embedded specimens of 10 patients with surgically resected urogenital cancer. Samples were processed by a modified method of Hedley et al. including two hours of pepsinizing time, ribonuclease digestion, and propidium iodide staining. The mean DNA content which is a quantitative description of flow cytometric characteristics was significantly correlated between the fresh and paraffin-embedded materials (n = 10, r = 0.869, p less than 0.01). This method allows for the objective, retrospective analysis of DNA content in relation to diagnosis and prognosis of urogenital cancer.

D005404 Fixatives Agents employed in the preparation of histologic or pathologic specimens for the purpose of maintaining the existing form and structure of all of the constituent elements. Great numbers of different agents are used; some are also decalcifying and hardening agents. They must quickly kill and coagulate living tissue. Fixative,Pickling Agents,Agents, Pickling
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D005557 Formaldehyde A highly reactive aldehyde gas formed by oxidation or incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. In solution, it has a wide range of uses: in the manufacture of resins and textiles, as a disinfectant, and as a laboratory fixative or preservative. Formaldehyde solution (formalin) is considered a hazardous compound, and its vapor toxic. (From Reynolds, Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p717) Formalin,Formol,Methanal,Oxomethane
