SNAP i.d. 2.0 IHC System by The Life Science business of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, operates as MilliporeSigma in the U.S. and Canada

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
