ImmEdge barrier pen for in situ hybridisation
A hydrophobic barrier pen for immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridisation.
The ImmEdge Pen, a hydrophobic barrier pen for immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridisation detection methods, is designed for use with frozen or paraffin-embedded tissue sections mounted on glass slides. The ImmEdge pen provides a water repellent barrier that keeps staining reagents localised on the tissue sections, prevents mixing of reagents when differentially staining two sections on the same slide and allows the use of less reagents per section.
The boundary deposited by the ImmEdge pen is lightly coloured and easily visible. It is insoluble in alcohol and acetone, but is removed by most clearing agents. The ImmEdge pen is compatible with all commonly used enzyme or fluorescent-based detection systems.
