[Histonet] Secondary antibody for Ventana detection kits

[Sebree Linda A.]

Hello,

I have the need to optimize a goat anti-human antibody on the Ventana XT
immunostainer.  In order to incorporate an anti-goat secondary I am
using their "open secondary" protocol with an iView DAB detection kit.
I am wondering whose antibody people are using in these circumstances.
Ventana says that people have used Jackson ImmunoResearch's biotinylated
R x G F(ab')2 (cat. #: 305-066-003) for this purpose with success.  I
would like to actually talk to anyone who has done this as I have
concerns about their storage requirements and putting this antibody in a
dispenser.

Thank you in advance for your help,
