Immunohistochemistry Kits

Immunohistochemistry (IHC), or the staining of antigens with antibodies, is used in clinical and research labs to detect specific proteins in tissue preparations. Choosing the appropriate combination of antibodies and stains for IHC is effortless with the use of immunohistochemistry kits. IHC kits come complete with antibodies, blocking buffers, substrates, and dilution reagents. Anti-rabbit, anti-goat, and anti-human staining kits are among the sizable assortment of available host specific kits. Once the tissue and host specificities are chosen, the user can opt for staining methods such as fluorescence or chromogenic. Broad spectrum kits are also available for multi-purpose antigen tissue-specific staining with human, mouse, or rabbit primary antibodies. Immunofluorescence detection kits are used with fluorescence microscopy. One advantage of fluorescence labeling kits is the possibility for multiple staining of one tissue sample.IHC kits streamline the process with single step procedures, and result in less background when compared to non-kit protocols.
