Calbiochem® ImmunoPen™, MilliporeSigma
Supplier: MilliporeSigma
ImmunoPen™ is designed to minimize waste of antibody in immunostaining techniques on paraffin sections, frozen sections, or cytology preparations. When applied in a circle around the specimen, forms a hydrophobic barrier, retaining antibody.
- Sufficient for 500-800 individual applications
- Store at +15 to +30°C
Paraffin Section Method: Deparaffinize and rehydrate the section according to normal procedures
Frozen Section Method: Apply the ImmunoPen™ circle after cleaning slides with xylene/ethanol or coating with egg albumin, glycerin, or poly-L-lysine. Apply before fixation or first immersion in water or buffer. If the slide is treated with a hydrophile, soak it in 0.1N hydrochloric acid for 20 s, then wash with water.
For best adhesion, dry around the section with tissue paper and encircle it with the ImmunoPen™. Allow the circle to dry for approximately 1-2 min at room temperature, and then return the slide to water or buffer. If trypsinization or other proteolytic digestion is required, apply the ImmunoPen™ barrier after the digestion is completed.
