Control Slides, IHC, SOX11, Box of 25

Description

IHC control slides play a crucial role in assessing the accuracy of the staining protocol, detecting any background staining, and determining sensitivity and specificity. These slides are an indispensable quality control tool, helping researchers to verify that the staining protocol is functioning correctly, and the observed staining is specific to the target protein of interest. The use of IHC control slides allows researchers to interpret their results with confidence, avoiding any false-positive or false-negative outcomes.

Product specific reactivity is guaranteed for one year from date of receipt when stored properly at 60-80°F in a humidity controlled and light-deprived environment. Please revalidate after one year to verify continued reactivity.

• All control slides are on Mopec IHC Enhanced Hydrophilic Adhesive Slides using Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) human tissue.
• All controls are cut in serial sections at 4 microns. Standard tissue placement is mid-high on slide to facilitate placement of patient and control tissue on the same slide. All slides are air dried.
• Box of 25 contains 24 unstained slides and 1 stained slide.
• Box of 100 contains 98 unstained slides and 2 stained slides.

NOTE: The intended use of these control slides is to qualitatively assess the performance of the immunohistochemical stain. These controls are not intended for quantitative purposes. Please review the supplied stained slide(s) with your Pathologist prior to using the unstained slides to ensure that the intended analyte of interest is acceptable.
