Fluorescent IHC Stains Article Gives Practical Tips For Bioscientists

Share this news:

BitesizeBio.com has published its latest article covering fluorescent IHC stains for tissues in different conditions. The article is aimed primarily at bioscientists, and give practical advice on successful staining with fluorescent IHC.


BitesizeBio.com has published a new article entitled “How to Obtain Stellar Staining with Fluorescent IHC”, which sheds light on the most important aspects of fluorescent IHC stains for tissues in different conditions. Bioscientists, and other interested individuals can view the full article on the Bitesize Bio website.


The article includes several interesting pieces of information, one in particular is that staining both your target antigen and the cell nuclei is important. This should be of particular interest to bioscientists because the nuclear counterstain can help researchers identify cells that do not express the antigen of interest.


One of the most important piece of information the article tries to convey and communicate is that careful planning and quality fluorescent antibodies are required for fluorescent IHC experiments. The best example of this is perhaps found in the following extract:


“They say “a picture is worth a thousand words.” This is especially true in the case of fluorescent immunohistochemistry (IHC). With the flip of a microscope filter, you can gaze into a brightly colored galaxy of red, green, and blue pixels, waiting to be captured and presented in your next publication. If you are interested in the kind of fluorescent IHC images worth those extra color publication charges, there are several important steps you can take to achieve dazzling fluorescent IHC results.’


In discussing the article’s creation, Dr. Amanda Welch, Editor-in-Chief at BitesizeBio.com said, “This article clearly and concisely explains the workflow in processing tissues for and performing fluorescent IHC experiments. Our readers will receive useful advice and know-how on getting excellent scientific results.”
