Slide Preparation
Use the following accessories in slide preparation in Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunocytochemistry (ICC), in situ hybridization, and Immunofluorescence (IF) applications.
The ImmEdge pen (H-4000) is an improvement over the PAP pen for tissue specimen preparation. Its hydrophobic barrier feature provides a stable, water-repellent barrier that keeps reagents localized on tissue specimens, preventing reagent mixing when multiple sections are mounted on the same slide.
- Stable for use with buffers with and without detergent (Tween 20, Triton X-100, etc.)
- Light blue barrier compatible with enzyme or fluorescence-based detection systems
- Soluble in all commonly used clearing agents
- Environmentally friendly – does not contain “ozone-depleting” substances as identified by the Montreal Protocol or the Council of the European Union
You can use this solvent-resistant permanent marking pen for writing on frosted glass microscope slides, tissue cassettes, and most hard surfaces.
- High-density, fast-drying, black ink is resistant to most organic solvents, such as alcohols and clearing agents
- Smooth writing tip that resists drying out
Designed to significantly increase the adherence of both frozen and paraffin-embedded tissue sections and cell preparations to glass slides and coverslips, this reagent chemically modifies the surface of the glass with positive charges to form a highly adherent surface.
- Tissues remain attached even under extreme conditions such as high temperature antigen unmasking techniques and in situ hybridization
- VECTABOND Reagent treated slides can be stored for long periods
