The Liquid Blocker Mini PAP Pen is a ready-to-use hydrophobic barrier pen designed for immunohistochemistry applications. Draw a circle, square or any shape around the tissue sections with the pen and it provides a thin film-like barrier (surface tension) ensuring only the amount of antibody solution needed is applied.
Since over-flooding of the slide is eliminated, wiping of excess fluid from around specimen can be avoided. Saves time and avoids the risk of touching specimen for wiping.
Multiple specimens, can be separated by circles or lines applied to the same slide. The pen contains a special formulation that is water repellent, insoluble in alcohol and acetone, and stable for a long time period. It can be removed, if required by xylene after the staining procedure is completed if the chromogen is insoluble in solvents.
Stable up to 120 degrees C in microwave heat. This feature can be helpful in ISH procedures.
The PAP Pen is very effective for immunostaining procedures by the Peroxidase-Antiperoxidase (PAP) method, ABC method, B-SA Method , LSAB method, polymeric method, immunofluorescence method, ASD method, Enzyme method and Frozen Section method.
The Super PAP pen is also widely used with staining procedures in Neuroscience Labs, Histology, Cell Biology, Virology, Microbiology, Pathology, Cancer Research Centers and Micro-preparation of Cultured Cells for In Situ Reverse Transcription PCR.
Improves tissue section attachment to glass slides during immunohistochemical staining. It creates a sticky surface on the glass slide ideally suited for paraffin or frozen section attachment.
Frequent washing when carrying out immuno-histochemical stains sometimes causes tissue sections to float off slides or cells to be lost from smear preparations. HistoBond® slides solve these problems.
HistoBond® slides are ideal for in-situ hybridization
Even problematic tissues such as brain or spinal cord can be processed with the aid of HistoBond® slides in routine histology
