One-step, two-step, amplify: How to choose the right IHC detection system

Matthew Mahavongtrakul, PhD April 6, 2022

Enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio is essential for obtaining viable data. Choosing the appropriate immunohistochemistry detection system can help.

Reduce Tissue Autofluorescence and Dramatically Enhance Signal-to-Noise Ratio

Matthew Mahavongtrakul, PhD October 27, 2021

Autofluorescence can make it difficult or impossible to distinguish antigen-specific signal from non-specific background. Learn how you can reduce autofluorescence in your immunofluorescence workflow.

Unmasking Epitopes Using Antigen Retrieval for Formalin-Fixed Tissue Staining

Matthew Mahavongtrakul, PhD September 29, 2021

Protein in formalin-fixed tissue can undergo epitope masking, leading to reduction or elimination of antibody binding. Learn how antigen retrieval can reverse this masking.
