ImmPACT® Vector® Red Substrate Kit, Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) (SK-5105)

Both Vector Red and ImmPACT Vector Red alkaline phosphatase (AP) substrates produce red, heat stable reaction products that are also highly fluorescent and non-fading. Preparations stained with either Vector Red or ImmPACT Vector Red AP chromogen can be dehydrated, cleared, and permanently mounted. Because of their stability under ISH conditions, both chromogens can be used in IHC/ISH double labeling applications. Both formulations can be used for either manual or automated staining methods.

The bright fluorescence of the Vector Red or ImmPACT Vector Red reaction products are visible using DyLight^™ 594, Texas Red^® or TRITC filter systems. The fluorescence is especially bright in dehydrated, permanently mounted sections. The fluorescence is stable and does not photobleach like most fluorescent dyes.

Either substrate formulation can also be used on blots. Compared to other AP substrates, the Vector Red and ImmPACT Vector Red reaction products have a wider dynamic range, offering better quantitation of targets on blots.
