| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a non-destructive macromolecules extraction (NDME) device for extracting high quantity of biological molecules (including, but not limited to, proteins, DNA, and/or RNA) from tissue specimens (including, but not limited to, fresh or fixed tissue sections, homogenized tissues, and cell cultures), while preserving the morphology and antigenicity of the tissue. The device contains a base, a slide cover, and a thermal control device. The tissue specimen is placed onto the base. The slide cover is mounted to the base to form a space where an extraction solution can be added. The device optionally contains a chamber cover over the slide cover. The chamber cover and the slide cover forms a reaction chamber where a steam is infused to maintain the humidity of the tissue. The extraction solution contains a detergent. The present invention also provides a method for extracting the same. |
