[Histonet] RE: reagents for IHC

[Morken, Tim]

For IHC ancillary reagents (buffers, diluents, AR reagents), most of which are interchangeable, try the smaller companies, Biocare, Diagnostic Biosystems (dbiosys.net), Cell Marque, Lab Vision (now under Thermo, www.labvision.com), Scytek, among others. They are usually much cheaper since they are trying to get business away from the big companies.

Subject: [Histonet] reagents for IHC

Hi everyone,

How are you experiencing the economic pressures and price changes for REAGENTS? I am sorry, but I just bought reagents from DAKO and, for the price I paid for 125 ml before, I got 15-50 ml :(

I am ready to switch to another company, but I need your suggestion about reagents for IHC and companies you are purchasing from: Peroxidase Block, Protein Block, Antibody diluents, DAB, AEC, different secondaries and tertiaries.

Thanks in advance,
Naira
