[Histonet] p16 Antibody

[goodwin, diana]

Hi, Laurie.  We use the Leica Bond and dispense it into an open vial for use on that instrument.  I suggest you contact the vendor for the IHC stainer you are using.  They should be able to tell you how to optimize the new Ventana Cintec P16 for use on your existing system.  

Good Luck!

Subject: [Histonet] p16 Antibody

We have been using Ventana's p16 antibody and detection kit on an IHC stainer that is not Ventana's stainer.  We have been told that these reagents are now obsolete, but that they can be purchased in dispensers which are customized for Ventana's own stainer.  Can I simply just dispense their reagents into my own vials for my stainer?  I'm wondering if anyone else is dealing with this same issue.

Are there other companies that sell the p16 antibody?  The last time I checked (which was years ago), Ventana was the only one selling this.

Thanks,
