A solution for preservation and/or storage of a cell or tissue is described. This simple nonaqueous composition can have about 10% polyethylene glycol and 90% methanol. It can be used at room temperature. Special chemicals, equipment, and techniques are not needed. Tissue preserved with and/or stored in the solution can be processed for cytology or histology, including chemical staining and/or antibody binding, by a variety of methods; antigen, DNA, and RNA can be extracted from processed tissue in high yield and with minimal or no degradation. Advantages of the solution include: economy and safety, easy access to archival material, and compatibility with both cellular and genetic analyses. The use and manufacture of the solution are also described.

L'invention concerne une solution de conservation et/ou de stockage d'une cellule ou d'un tissu. Cette simple composition non aqueuse peut contenir environ 10 % de polyéthylène glycol et 90 % de méthanol. Elle peut être utilisée à température ambiante. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser des produits chimiques, de l'équipement et des techniques spéciaux. Le tissu conservé et/ou stocké dans la solution peut être traité en vue de cytologie ou d'histologie, incluant coloration et/ou liaison avec un anticorps, au moyen de procédés variés. L'antigène, l'ADN et l'ARN peuvent être extraits du tissu traité avec un rendement élevé sans dégradation, ou avec une dégradation minime. Les avantages de la solution comprennent: économie et sécurité, accès facile au matériau archivé, et compatibilité avec, à la fois, les analyses cellulaires et génétiques. L'invention concerne aussi l'utilisation et la fabrication de la solution.
