Paraformaldehyde (PFA) is the polymerization product of formaldehyde with a typical degree of polymerization of 8100 units. Paraformaldehyde is not a fixative itself; it must be depolymerized to formaldehyde in solution. In cell culture, a typical formaldehyde fixing procedure would involve using a 4% formaldehyde solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) on ice for 10 minutes. Fixing ensures that sample cell structures stay intact and that antigens are immobilized, while ideally still permitting unfettered access of antibodies to target antigens. CAS 30525-89-4, soluble in water, pH 7.0-7.6 at 25°C. The solution should be clear, colorless, with no precipitate.

AEC Single Solution is a ready-to-use solution intended for immunohistochemical and in situ-hybridisation staining procedures with horse radish peroxidase (HRP). AEC (3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazol) leads to the formation of a red-brown precipitate at the location of the target antigen or target nucleic acid. The precipitate is insoluble in aqueous mounting media and can be observed by light microscopy. AEC Single Solution is especially useful when a high sensitivity is desired.
100 ml AEC Single Solution (ready-to-use) 2 Dropper Bottles
Storage and handling:
The solution should be stored at 2-8°C without furt her dilution. Please store the reagent in a dark place and do not freeze it. Under these conditions the solution is stable up to the expiry date indicated on the label. Do not use product after the expiry date. AEC Single Solution is a ready-to-use solution. Preparation of a working solution as in other chromogenic substrates is not necessary. A positive and a negative control have to be carried out in parallel to the test material. If you observe unusual staining or other deviations from the expected results which could possibly be caused by the kit reagents please contact our technical support.
Reagent preparation:
The solution is ready-to-use. AEC Single Solution can be used directly from the refrigerator and should be stored again at 2-8°C aft er use. When using the small package (8 ml) please directly drop from the bottle. When using the 100 ml package (MON-APP209) please transfer up to 8 ml of the AEC Single Solution into one of the provided dropper bottles. The transferred solution is stable for many weeks if stored at 2-8°C. The volume required for several staining runs should be transferred so that the 100 ml stock bottle has to be opened only a few times. If you would like to pipette the solution use a clean vial from which you pipette. Remaining quantities should not be filled back into the bottle but disposed as hazardous material.
Procedure:
1) Rinse the slide with wash buffer after the previous incubation step. 2) Apply the AEC Single Solution to the slide. Incubate for 3-6 minutes. (Incubation time can be extended up to 30 minutes, if desired.) 3) Rinse with distilled H2O. 4) Counterstain with haematoxylin for about 30 seconds up to 5 minutes (depending on the desired staining intensity). 5) Rinse with distilled H2O. 6) Blueing in tap water for at least 5 minutes. 7) Mount with an aqueous mounting medium.
Expected results:
During the reaction of the substrate with horse radish peroxidase in presence of the chromogen AEC, a red-brown precipitate is formed at the location of the target antigen or nucleic acid. The precipitate is insoluble in aqueous solvents and can be observed by light microscopy.
Trouble shooting:
If you observe unusual staining or other deviations from the expected results please read these instructions carefully, contact our technical support. Also refer to the instructions of the detection systems for guidance on general troubleshooting.
Quality Control:
We recommend carrying out a positive and a negative control with every staining run. The positive control permits the validation of appropriate processing of the sample. If the negative control has a positive result, this points to unspecific staining. Please refer to the instructions of the detection system for guidance on general quality control procedures.
Performance characteristics:
Studies have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the kit reagents. The product has been found to be suitable for the intended use
Limitations of procedure:
Immunohistochemistry is a complex method in which histological as well as immunological detection methods are combined. Tissue processing and handling prior to immunostaining, for example variations in fixation and embedding or the inherent nature of the tissue can cause inconsistent results (Nadji and Morales, 1983). In some tissues endogenous peroxidase activity may cause non-specific staining. The enzyme activity should be blocked by incubation with hydrogen peroxide solution (H2O2 solution). The step is carried out before incubation with primary antibody but after dewaxing and rehydration. Background staining due to endogenous biotin can be blocked through an avidin-biotin blocking step prior to the primary antibody incubation step. The coloured precipitate formed by AEC is soluble in organic solvents. The tissue sections therefore have to be counterstained with aqueous solutions (e. g. Gills or Mayers haematoxylin) and mounted with aqueous mounting media. The colour intensity of the reaction product can decrease with time, especially when exposed to light. The staining reaction itself can be influenced in the same way when carried out in strong light. Sanbio guarantees that the product will meet all requirements described from its shipping date until its expiry date, as long as the product is correctly stored and utilized. No additional guarantees can be given. Under no circumstances shall Sanbio be liable for any damages arising out of the use of the reagent provided.
Precautions:
Use by qualified personnel only. AEC (3-Amino-9-ethylcarbazol) and the solvents used are considered hazardous materials. Material safety data sheets (MSDS) are available upon request. Wear protective clothing to avoid contact of reagent or specimen with eye, skin or mucous membrane. In case of reagent or specimen coming into contact with a sensitive area, wash the area with large amounts of water. Oxidising substances, e. g. metals, dust, bacteria or glass devices can influence the stability of AEC Single Solution. Such contaminations have to be avoided. Non-consumed solution needs to be discarded as dangerous substance.

The Citrate buffer, is designed for use during heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) on formalinfixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections prior to antibody application. In immunohistochemistry (IHC), protein cross-links are formed during formalin or other aldehyde fixation. These cross-links mask the antigenic sites in tissue specimens and results in weak or false negative staining in immunohistochemical detection of proteins. The use of this citrate buffer in combination with heat ensures that the antigenicity of proteins modified, thus enhancing staining intensity of antibodies. For the recommended pre-treatment technique, please refer to the individual antibody's instructions for use. This buffer is a 10x concentrate solution and must be diluted 1:10 with deionized water before using. The final readyto-use solution should have a pH of 6.0 ± 0.3. The buffer can be used for a maximum of three runs within five days after dilution. Also available in 250 ml, 500 ml en 1000 ml.
Before use dilute 1:10 with deionized water. The final ready-to-use solution should have a pH of 6.0 ± 0,3,
Procedure:
1. Deparaffinize and rehydrate the tissue slides. 2. Fill the PT Module tank with 150 ml of citrate buffer and 1,350 ml of deionized water, to obtain 1,500 ml of ready-to-use solution (1:10 dilution). 3. Pre-heat the PT Module until temperature reaches 65°C and place the formalin-fixed slides in slide racks into the PT Module tank. 4. Heat the citrate buffer and slides to 98°C and incubate for 20 minutes. 5. Cool slides in the PT Module to 65°C. 6. Remove slides and cool to room temperature for at least 5 minutes in a PBS or TBS based buffer. 7. Continue with staining according to IHC protocol. Note: Alternative heating sources, such as a microwave or a pressure cooker, can be used to replace the PT Module tank. The optimal incubation time for these heating sources should be determined by authorised personnel / researchers.

CryoCompound freezing medium is an aqueous based frozen tissue embedding medium designed to support tissue blocks in cryostat sectioning. Formulated to promote rapid freezing, enhanced sectioning and consistent results at a working temperature of -20° C. The ready-to-use Cryocompound is available in different colors: MON-APP900C (Transparant/colorless), MON-APP900B (Blue), MON-APP900Y (Yellow), MON-APP900O (Orange), MON-APP900G (green), MON-APP900R (Red) or Multicolorkit MON-APP900BYGR (Blue, Yellow, Green, Red).
Principle of method:
Freezing medium
Reagents provided:
100 ml Cryocompound, freezing medium (ready-to-use)
Storage and handling:
Store at room temperature
Procedure:
1. Place few drops of CryoCompound (depends on the size of the sample to be embedded) onto the center of the bottom of cryomold. Be careful to select the proper size embedding mold according to the size of the sample to be embedded. 2. Try to avoid the formation of air bubbles. Remove any bubbles inside the CryoCopound. This is important because the air bubbles will create problems when cutting sections. Air bubbles create freeze- thaw-freeze cycle and ice crystal will form inside of it and result in a very bad morphology due to the ice crystal artefact. 3. Let it settle for 15-30 seconds to allow the CryoCompound to completely wet the surface of the tissue. Hardening of the CryoCompound included the sample (it will happen in 0.5-1 minute) before preparing the CryoCompoundsample-block.
Expected results:
Tissue block for cryostat sectioning
