formalin effects data

Published by U.S. EPA Office of Research and Development (ORD) | U.S. Environmental Protection Agency | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2020-04-21
RNA sequencing data from paired: (1) fresh-frozen, (2) direct-fixed in formalin for 18 hours, (3) frozen then formalin-fixed, or (4) frozen then ethanol-fixed and paraffin-embedded (n=6/group/condition) tissue samples from the livers of mice exposed to 600 ppm phenobarbital vs. vehicle control for 7 days in drinking water. RNA sequencing data from paired fresh frozen and 18 hr. formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver tissue from mice administered 1500, 3000, and 6000 ppm DEHP or vehicle control for 7 days by dietary ingestion; or RNA sequencing data from paired fresh frozen, 18 hr. formalin fixed paraffin embedded, or 3 wk. formalin fixed paraffin embedded liver tissue from mice administered 8 mg/kg/d Furan or vehicle control for 3 weeks by gavage. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Wehmas, L., S. Hester, and C.E. Wood. Direct Formalin Fixation Induces Widespread Transcriptomic Effects in Archival Tissue Samples.
