  1. 3 Main Types of IHC/ICC Fixatives

    Sample fixation is a required and crucial step for every successful IHC/ICC experiment. Appropriate fixation of samples provides the following benefits during the tissue preparation process:

    • Preserves morphology
    • Prevents tissue degradation
    • Ensures antigenicity
    • Protects cells from damage

    Choosing which fixing solution to use depends...

  2. 6 IHC Controls You Should Know

    Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a popular protein detection method that utilizes antibody-antigen interactions to visualize the distribution and localization of specific cellular components within cells and in their proper tissue context.

    In the lab, researchers invest time and effort to optimize the sample preparation and sample staining processes of IHC. When successful, the results produce a strong and specific signal.

    However, how do we know the results have been interpreted...
