ImmEdge^®: Hydrophobic barrier PAP pen for tissue staining

Features:

• Compatibility: The pens are compatible with enzyme or fluorescence-based detection systems, which means they can be used in a variety of experimental setups.
• Solubility: They are soluble in all commonly used clearing agents, making them versatile for different laboratory protocols.
• Barrier color: The light blue barrier is likely designed for visibility during application.
• Tip saturation and retention: Easy tip saturation and consistent tip retention suggest ease of use and reliability in application.
• Fluid flow: Improved fluid flow indicates that the pen allows for smooth application of the barrier.

Benefits:

• Cost efficiency: Using these pens can save reagents and reduce the cost of running immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) experiments.
• Flexibility: They allow for the isolation of different tissue sections on the same slide, enabling the use of different reagents on each section.
• Reagent compatibility: The pens are compatible with buffers and reagents used in the staining workflow, ensuring they do not interfere with the staining process.
• Heat stability: They can be used in in-situ hybridization workflows, which may involve heat, without degrading.
• Environmental considerations: The pens are environmentally friendly as they do not contain ozone-depleting hydrocarbons.
