Antigen Retrieval

Antigen unmasking solutions reveal antigens for optimum immunostaining

Use our antigen retrieval reagents with formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections. These reagents — in combination with a high-temperature treatment — unmask antigens for optimum immunolabeling.

Vector Laboratories offers you 2 formulations, each supplied as 100x concentrated stocks.
