Antibody Optimisation
We will optimise a protocol to get your antibody staining looking the best it can
In immunohistochemistry there are several factors which can affect the quality of staining, such as the antigen retrieval method, antibody concentration and antibody incubation time. We optimise each of these conditions so that each antibody produces IHC staining on the tissue of interest with an optimal specific staining to background ratio.
Below is a list of antibodies that the lab have previously developed protocols for. NB: Not all antibodies are immediately available and may need to be ordered in on request. Frequently used antibodies are shown with an (*).
