As medical research becomes increasingly complex, the need for a more comprehensive understanding of the biological processes underlying disease has become more important than ever. This has led to the development of new technologies and techniques that allow for more detailed and accurate analysis of tissue samples. One such technology is multiplex immunohistochemistry, which has revolutionized how researchers analyze tissue samples.
Multiplex Immunohistochemistry
Multiplex immunohistochemistry is a technique that allows researchers to simultaneously visualize and quantify multiple proteins within a single tissue sample. This is achieved by using multiple fluorescently labeled antibodies that bind to specific proteins of interest. Each antibody is labeled with a different fluorescent dye, which allows for the visualization of multiple proteins within the same tissue section.
One of the challenges of multiplex immunohistochemistry is the need to validate each antibody to ensure that it binds specifically to its target protein. This can be a time-consuming and expensive process, but it is critical to ensure the accuracy and reproducibility of the results. To address this challenge, Visikol offers validated antibody panels as part of their highly-multiplexed immunohistochemistry services.
Validated Antibody Panels
Visikol’s validated antibody panels are designed to provide actionable insights in an easy-to-read report, allowing clients to make decisions and push forward their research efforts. Each panel is designed to target a specific set of proteins that are relevant to a particular disease or biological process. By using a validated panel, researchers can be confident that each antibody in the panel has been thoroughly tested and validated, which saves time and resources.
These validated antibody panels are also highly versatile and can be customized to suit the specific research needs of scientists working in pharma or medical research. This flexibility allows researchers to design a panel that is tailored to their specific research question, which can lead to more accurate and relevant results.
Advanced Imaging Services
In addition to the validated antibody panels, Visikol also offers a range of advanced imaging services, including digital slide imaging. Digital slide imaging allows for the high-resolution imaging of tissue samples, which can be analyzed using custom-built image processing algorithms. This allows for the creation of a highly-multiplexed fluorescence image stack, which can be analyzed using quantitative analysis to measure cell populations at unprecedented detail within a single sample.
Multiplex immunohistochemistry is a powerful technique that allows for the simultaneous visualization and quantification of multiple proteins within a single tissue sample. Visikol’s validated antibody panels provide a streamlined and cost-effective way to perform this technique while ensuring the accuracy and reproducibility of the results. The flexibility of the panels also allows for customization to suit the specific research needs of scientists working in pharma or medical research. With Visikol’s highly-multiplexed immunohistochemistry services and advanced imaging capabilities, researchers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the biological processes underlying disease, which can lead to the development of new and more effective treatments.
