HistoGeneTM LCM Immunofluorescence Kit
Preserve RNA Integrity during Immunofluorescence Processing
Simplify Fluorescent Target
Cell Labeling
Identify target cells for Laser CaptureMicrodissection (LCM) and gene expressionanalysis using antigen markers to highlightspecific surface or intracellular proteins. TheHistoGene LCM ImmunofluorescenceStaining Kit is the only Kit specifically designedfor retrieval of high-quality RNA fromimmunofluorescently stained frozen tissuesections. The Staining Kit provides reagents andslides for convenient and reliable immuno-fluorescent staining. The Kit provides aprotocol streamlined and optimized to maintainRNA quality and materials sufficient forprocessing 32 slides.

Process to Preserve RNA
To increase RNA yield and ensure its quality, the HistoGene Cold Block keeps up to four generally take over 90 minutes to process tissue section slides and several tubes containing samples, compromising the RNA integrity with buffer and antibody solutions chilled during conditions sub-optimal for single-stranded processing. The block is designed for use with Identify target cells using the HistoGene LCM Immuno-
