ONCORE Pro – RISH™ Retrieval Kit

Product Description

Antigen Retrieval 3 (AR3) is capable of partially breaking the covalent bonds of formalin-fixed tissue, as part of an ISH staining procedure on the ONCORE Pro Automated Slide Stainer. Pretreatment of FFPE tissues with Antigen Retrieval 3 (AR3) can increase staining intensity.

Probe Enhancer (RNA) is an ancillary hybridization reagent that promotes spreading and reduces drying of mRNA targeting ISH probes during hybridization reactions. Effective hybridization may facilitate enhanced staining and reduce artifacts.
