TripleStain IHC detection systems
TripleStain enzymatic IHC detection systems provide you with reagents and optimized protocols for staining three antigens on a tissue-section using immuno-enzymatic detection.
- Animal specific kits have been tested of paraffin embedded mouse tissue
- Human specific kits have been tested on paraffin embedded human tissue
The kits also allow various combinations of species primary antibodies and a choice enzymatic labels (please use the key below to identify the most suitable system).
These multicolor enzymatic systems offer
- Reduced background
- when staining tissue containing endogenous biotin (eg kidney, liver and spleen) using an HRP and AP polymer based system
- when staining tissue containing endogenous biotin (eg kidney, liver and spleen) using an HRP and AP polymer based system
- Optimized protocols
- staining in five hours excluding antigen retrieval steps
- Various color combinations
- brown, red, green, brown and black depending on kit
- brown, red, green, brown and black depending on kit
- Can be permanently mounted with a coverslip
- Use of mouse antibodies on mouse tissue
- protocols for blocking endogenous mouse IgG
Example staining
Staining of FFPE Human colon cancer tissue section using a Rabbit antibody against CEA (brown), a Mouse antibody against PCNA (black) and a Mouse antibody against smooth muscle actin (red) using TripleStain IHC kit: M&M&R on human tissue (DAB, AP/Red & DAB/Ni).

Applications
Our triple-staining IHC kits can enable you to perform multicolor IHC experiments where you can
- Stain different cell types to get an overview of their location in tissue specimens
- Identify cells using a structural marker as well as an antibody against your target protein
- Search for co-localization when combining cellular markers with activation markers
- Perform histology experiments using visible color with no need to use a fluorescence microscope
- Combine with fluorescent in-situ hybridization markers to simultaneously study protein and mRNA protein levels
