Immunocytochemistry (ICC) Experiment Service

Instruction manual

First Edition (Revised on April, 2016)

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) is a detection technique combined with cytochemistry and immunological techniques. It is on the basis of specific recognition of antigen and corresponding antibody. ICC could specifically detect intracellular peptides, proteins, membrane proteins and other biological molecules based on chemical chromogenic substances or fluorescent substances.

Available Services

1. Preparation of adherent cells.

2. Preparation of positive and negative samples (including cell culture, cell stimulation, cells transfection, animal models, etc.).

3. Labeling of target antigen or antibody.

4. Special staining for cell structure or organelles.

[Sample requirement]

1. Cells are cultured in plates or dishes. (Detailed technical solutions for preparation of special samples should be provided by customer, infectious samples should be marked).
