BIOZOL Brochure Immunohistochemistry

Validated antibodies, detection systems and more

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a powerful technique enabling the visual localisation of proteins within a section of tissue. Thinly sliced tissue sections are preserved and treated with antibody against a target of interest. This antibody and hence the protein of interest is visualized within the section via a fluorescent or enzyme/chromagen label.
The most common tissue preservation techniques involve paraffin embedding or cryogenic freezing, although sections can also be free-floating. Different tissue preparation methods require different downstream processing of sections, and antibody selection should be based on compatibility with this processing.
BIOZOL offers a wide array of reagents for histological labelling and detection, from antibodies to substrates, counterstains and mounting media. Our products support every step of your research.
