BD Retrievagen Antigen Retrieval Systems

Recommended for zinc-fixed and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections that show suboptimal or no reactivity with antibodies for immunohistochemical staining

Supplier:  BD 550524

Catalog No. BDB550524

Description

10% neutral buffered formalin fixes the tissue by cross-linking proteins that may cause a conformational change or “masking” of the antigenic epitope leading to reduced or absent antibody reactivity. The BD Retrievagen Antigen Retrieval Systems are designed to unmask the epitope and cause the enhancement of antibody staining.

• Retrievagen A (pH 6.0) is provided as two separate solutions that need to be mixed
• Retrievagen B (pH 9.5) is provided as a ready-to-use solution
