Does tissue need to be fresh or can we snap freeze in liquid nitrogen and grind a small amount prior to homogenising in chloroform/Tx100?

Answer
Although we would suggest to use fresh tissue preferably, tissue that is snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen can be used too. The tissue can be ground and then lipid extraction can be done with choloroform-triton.
