[Histonet] Kappa/Lambda ISH on Ventana

I was informed of the ASR issue also.  Back in the day, vendors,
including VMS, did give out protocols for ASR probes but no longer.  The
best I can offer is that with the VMS EBER probe we use ISH Protease
2/12" with great results.

Ventana can no longer give out protocols. Theses probes are ASR products
and the FDA doesn't allow them to tell you the protocol. They can offer
guidance if you have a protocol that doesn't work well, but they can't
outright tell you a protocol. Another institution that runs Ventana
probes is your best bet.

You should be able to get protocols directly from Ventana.  I tried out
their K and L ISH probes and they gave us the protocols.  They also
supplied us with the protocol we use for EBER ISH.

Hi Histonet!

I have been tasked with validating Kappa and Lambda on our Ventana
Benchmark
XT machines.  Does anyone who uses this platform have suggestions as to
which Ventana protease works best (1, 2 or 3)?  Additionally, any other
information concerning the optimization (suggested incubation times, RNA
regions etc.) would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
