Description

This service includes tissue preparation, sectioning, immunolabeling, coverslipping and labeling the slides. As a result, you will receive up to 60 immunolabeled sections per brain or per tissue block ready for microscopic observations.

Procedure:  Following cryoprotection, tissue will be rapidly frozen in isopentane pre-cooled to -70°C. The frozen tissue will be cut on a cryostat and mounted on gelatin-coated microscope slides (cf. Products, Cat. #PO101). Subsequently, sections cut from various levels (or the levels of your choice) will be processed on slides for immunostaining with 2 specific antibodies according to immunogold labeling technique¹.

Remarks:

• A quotation is required before placing an order.
• Investigator needs to provide fixed (or unfixed frozen) tissue and the specific antibodies.
• Please contact us for more information.
