Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:Western Blot: ≥1:500 Immunohistochemistry: 1:400-1:800 in PBS/0.3% Triton X-100, Cy3 technique; 1:5000-1:10,000 in PBS/0.3% Triton X-100, Biotin/Avidin-HRPOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Immunohistochemistry Application Notes:Perfusion Fixation: Fixative- 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4; 500ml, over 20 minutes
Post Fixation: 4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4; 500ml, over 20 minutes
Post Fixation: 1.5 hour at 4°C.
4% paraformaldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4
Note: Paraformaldehyde is a necessary component in fixation of serotonin.
If needed, low levels of glutaraldehyde (0.1- 0.3%) may be used in conjunction with paraformaldehyde
