2-Color IHC Kit for Rabbit/Rat Antibody on Human/Mouse Tissue, Purple/Red
In immunohistochemistry, the technique of double staining is widely employed to simultaneously detect and differentiate two distinct antigens within a single tissue sample. The 2-Color IF Kit is designed to use BCIP/NBT (Purple) and AEC (Red) dye effectively stain 2 different antigens on human and mouse tissue or cell samples when paired with user-supplied rabbit and rat primary antibodies.

Usage
The kit provides the user with two polymer enzyme conjugates: HRP polymer anti-Rat IgG (minimal cross-reaction to mouse) and AP polymer anti-Rabbit IgG. These conjugates are accompanied by two distinct substrates/chromogens: BCIP/NBT and AEC. BCIP/NBT reacts with the anti-Rabbit AP polymer to produce a subsequent purple color.
Applications
Paraffin tissue (verified), frozen specimen and freshly prepared monolayer cell smears.
Color
BCIP/NBT (purple) and AEC (red)
Specificity
Rabbit and Rat
Tissue Species
Human and Mouse
Storage
2-8℃
Note
The outcome is significantly influenced by several factors, including fixation, tissue slide thickness, antigen retrieval, as well as the dilution and incubation time of the primary antibody. It is crucial for the investigator to carefully evaluate all of these variables and establish the ideal conditions in order to accurately interpret the results.
