1-Step Polymer HISTO-STAT Kits

---

For Wash- Free, Background-Free STAT (rapid) immunostaining in 2 easy steps and under one hour.  Free of avidin, biotin, and streptavidin

A single kit system for animal and human tissue staining

ABOUT POLYMER HISTO-STAT Kits
HISTO-STAT (2-step staining system) is a Non-biotin & Non-streptavidin system developed for wash-free, background-free IHC stainingin 60 minutes. Does NOT require Protein/ serum Blocking.

Innovex Polymer HIsto-Stat kits only involve 2 staining steps post incubation with the primary antibody; an incubation with the Polymer reagent and, a short incubation step (5 minutes) with the substrate/chromogen of choice.
Histo-stat uses one less reagent, one less incubation step and one less rinse step.

UNIQUE FEATURES

• No Background. No serum or protein blocking step required
• No re-titration of current primary antibodies required, simply use  HISTO-STAT Polymer kits with your current  primary antibody titers
• Total staining time of only 60 minutes for paraffin sections and 20-30 minutes for frozen sections 
• Wash-Free, only 5 second rinses in between each incubation step.
• Free of biotin; No avidin/ biotin blocking required
• Short incubation steps
• 3 years of shelf life
• Highly amplified, equates the sensitivity of biotin-streptavidin system

HISTO-STAT USER FRIENDLY PROTOCOL (total staining time: 60 minutes for paraffin section, 20 minutes for frozen sections)

No protein blocking step or extensive rinses are required when staining with Innovex staining systems.

POST DEPARAFFINIZATION

• Incubate the section or smear for 20 minutes with primary antibody, rinse once with PBS or Innovex “Signal Enhancing Wash Buffer” for 5 seconds;
• Incubate with the Peroxidase (HRP) or alkaline phosphatase Second Step Reagent for 20 minutes, rinse once with PBS or Innovex “Signal Enhancing Wash Buffer” for 5 seconds;
• Incubate with INNOVEX substrate/chromogen of choice (AEC or DAB for HRP enzyme label) and Innovex Brown, Fast Red, or other substrate/chromogen available for alkaline phosphatase enzyme for 5-10 minutes, rinse with water;
• Counterstain and Mount.
