Vector Laboratories ImmEDGE™ Hydrophobic Barrier Pen Set Of 2

Supplier:  Vector Laboratories H4000

The ImmEdge™ Pen is used for drawing a heat-stable, water-repellent barrier around tissue specimens that are mounted on slides for immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence, and in situ hybridization applications. This barrier keeps reagents localized on tissue specimens and prevents the mixing of reagents when multiple sections are mounted on the same slide. An improvement over the PAP pen, the ImmEdge Pen produces a pale blue barrier that is compatible with buffers with and without detergent. It is also insoluble in alcohol and acetone, and it can be removed with commonly used xylene and xylene substitute clearing agents. Compatible with enzyme- or fluorescence-based detection systems, the ImmEdge Pen is also environmentally friendly - it does not contain ozone-depleting solvents as identified by the Montreal Protocol or the Council of the European Union (specifically, fluorocarbons and chlorocarbons). Two pens are included.
