Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) identifies or labels target genomic sequences so that their location can be studied. DNA sequences from appropriate chromosome specific probes are first labeled with reporter molecules. The labeled DNA probe is then hybridized to the metaphase chromosomes or interphase nuclei on a slide. After washing, the specimen is screened for the reporter molecules by fluorescence microscopy.For use on metaphase and i...

Novocastra Epitope Retrieval Solutions are intended for Heat Induced Epitope Retrieval (HIER) on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections as part of an immunohistochemical procedure. HIER using an appropriate pH solution improves the staining of some antibodies by exposing epitopes within tissue that have been masked during fixation.  A universal HIER technique suitable for all epitopes does not exist. A combination of different hea...

Cytogenetics has played a pivotal role in clinical and cancer diagnostics for over 60 years. The use of genomic technologies speeds targeted genetic analysis - but can high throughput automation in the cytogenetics laboratory broaden traditional approaches?

Perls’ Prussian Blue Iron Kit stains are used to detect and identify ferric (Fe3+) iron in tissue preparations, blood smears, or bone marrow smears.

Periodic Acid is a 0.5% aqueous solution used to oxidize reactive tissue elements to aldehydes prior to treatment with Schiff reagent. This solution is prepared immediately upon placement of an order.

X-tra Slides have a positive charged surface which helps to bond tissue sections and cytology preparations. X‐tra slides are used for demanding H&E procedures that require tissue adhesion. Size: 1” x 3” x .04” (unless otherwise noted) Hydrophobic surface with approximately 90 degree contact angle. Recommended uses include special stains, IHC, ISH, cryosectioning, and cytology.

Combines the components of the Alcian Blue and Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) stain kits. Alcian Blue is normally prepared at an acidic pH of 2.5  PAS staining is mainly used for staining structures containing a high proportion of carbohydrates such as glycogen, glycoproteins, proteoglycans typically found in connective tissues, mucus and basement membranes.  

Tissue Processing Automated tissue processors to maximize laboratory productivity for efficient and flexible workflow

The BOND-PRIME ARC Refresh Kit assists in maintaining the Active Reagent Control (ARC) Modules, the precisely engineered, individual staining chambers to run any staining protocol at any time. They provide consistent and reproducible staining with highly-controlled dispense, reagent flow, and precise incubation to each and every slide.The ARC kit comes with 24 ARC Covertiles and a mixing station. The semi-permanent, self-cleaning ARC Covertile pr...
