Abstract
A method extracting lipids from tissue samples, particularly collagenous tissue samples for use in preserving the tissue samples, is disclosed. The product of the method of extracting the lipids is also disclosed. Extraction is accomplished by immersing the tissue sample in a medium which is an aqueous solution of a salt and a sugar that is buffered to maintain pH and which has a high (greater than about 4500 mosm) osmolality.
