A key advantage of the ImmPRESS® Polymer Reagent is that it significantly shortens staining times for multiplex immunohistochemistry (IHC) protocols.
- Fewer steps than conventional protocols decreases slide handling.
- Eliminates the need for avidin/biotin blocking steps in samples with endogenous biotin.
