Issues with Your Tissues? Process all Your Slides in a SNAP for Streamlined IHC.
The SNAP i.d.® 2.0 Protein Detection System for Immunohistochemistry (IHC) introduces a new capability to the innovative, vacuum-driven SNAP i.d.® 2.0 system. The IHC slide holders allow you to block, probe, and stain up to 12 tissue slides per side (24 slides if both sides are used). Reduced handling time and multiple-slide processing make this system ideal for when you are optimizing antibody conditions and protocols.
With two individually controlled sides, the system base allows for independent, vacuum-driven processing of either one or two IHC frames. Each of the IHC frames can process between 1 to 12 glass slides through independent vacuum ports.
Each slide holder has an injection/recovery port that enables the manual addition, as well as the removal and recovery, of small volumes of antibodies or reagents; reagents can also be flushed using the vacuum feature if conservation is not a priority.
Benefits:
- Eliminates the need for pap pens
- Antibodies can be collected and reused
- Slide handling time is significantly decreased
- Less time spent on wash steps
- Parallel processing of multiple slides
Features:
- Flexibility of multiple slide configurations enables the processing of 1 to 24 slides at a time
- Compatible with standard IHC slides and protocols
- Compatible with diverse tissue preparations including formalin-fixed or fresh frozen samples
- Intuitive format
- Incorporates blocking, washing, and antibody incubation and labelling steps
- Systematizes handling multiple slides without the cost of automation
- Test tracker feature on frame cover helps keep track of IHC steps
