| Abstract | Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections are routinely analysed for biochemical discrimination by vibrational spectroscopy techniques in the spectral pathology community. In these experiments, it is usually desirable to remove the paraffin from the tissue. This is most commonly performed by the use of xylene but other solvents such as hexane are also used. It is thought that the removal of unbound paraffin wax by such solvents also leaches out lipids native to the tissue, leading to the perception by some that any subsequent analysis on remaining lipids of dewaxed tissue may be unreliable. The scope of the study was to make an assessment of whether a dewaxing protocol can demonstrate that paraffin wax is reliably removed in relation to the detectable limits of transmission mode infrared spectroscopy. In this study, a specific sampling region of two serial FFPE sections of human prostate cancer were analysed by monitoring the methylene hydrocarbon-associated vibrations as a function of solvent immersion time during washes of either hexane or xylene. Results of the study indicate that after 5–10 minutes of immersion in the solvent the hydrocarbon-associated vibrations remain fairly consistent across the tissue. This suggests that while methylene chains of free, unbound tissue lipids are leached from the tissue (assumingly in the first tissue processing stages prior to paraffin embedding) solvent-resistant lipids remain present in formalin-fixed tissue due to being locked into protein–lipid complex matrices, predominantly in the membranes. It is these lipids signals that are subsequently detectable by spectral pathology and may still prove to be of diagnostic use. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
