Optimized Antibodies

The HIC utilizes automated immunohistochemistry stainers which provide efficiency and consistency as well as standardization of protocols across studies of all sizes.

Please review the list of over 100 antibodies that have been optimized in our core. We are now pleased to offer additional high throughput automated IHC staining on our new Leica Bond Rx platform. Please contact Brian Johnson for more information

Invitrogen Multiplex (Luminex) Panel Configurator & Selection Tool

Easily and conveniently design your own custom Invitrogen multiplex immunoassay for protein quantitation detection using Luminex® technology. Select a species, panel type, and any number of available targets, and have the panel built and validated for you. This tool features our Invitrogen ProcartaPlex Assays (formerly eBioscience) and the Invitrogen legacy Luminex Assays.
