The ImmEdge™ Pen (H-4000) is an improvement over the PAP pen for immunohistochemistry, immunocytochemistry, immunofluorescence, and in situ hybridization.
The supplier does not provide quotations for this product through SelectScience. You can search for similar products in our Product Directory.
It is designed to provide a heat-stable, water-repellent barrier that keeps reagents localized on tissue specimens and prevents mixing of reagents when multiple sections are mounted on the same slide. The ImmEdge™ Pen barrier is stable for use buffers with and without detergent (e.g. Tween 20 or Triton X-100, etc.).
The pale blue barrier is insoluble in alcohol and acetone but is completely removed by all commonly used xylene and xylene substitute clearing agents. The ImmEdge™ Pen is compatible with enzyme or fluorescence-based detection systems.
The ImmEdge™ Pen is environmentally friendly - it does not contain "ozone-depleting" solvents as identified by the Montreal Protocol or the Council of the European Union (specifically, fluorocarbons and chlorocarbons).
