Antigen unmasking, antigen recovery on formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections

Universal buffer for epitope recovery and antigen retrieval on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded sections

Allow us to introduce the 2100 Antigen Retriever, the best epitope recovery unit for IHC on formalin-fixed sections. It is used by hundreds of research groups and small pathology labs worldwide, offering unique features not available in analogous machines.

The initial model was released in 2006, and we now present the 2015 third iteration of the Retriever, fully optimized for the use of the Universal Buffer.

In addition, we offer other components of the Retriever program designed to ensure a fully standardized and reproducible IHC process.

Excellent Epitope Recovery.
Every Time.
We express our gratitude to all the users of the Retriever for such a high rating!

The award-winning search engine, BIOZ, assigns ratings to the quality of laboratory products (Bioz Stars) based on various factors, including citation index and the impact of articles utilizing the product. Aptum's 2100 Retriever has received a score of 99 out of 100. We extend our gratitude to all the users who have utilized the Retriever and published their remarkable results.

We are confident that other components of the Retriever program, such as the R-Universal epitope recovery buffer and buffers for IHC, will soon gain similar recognition.

Aptum's collection of Immunohistology buffers offers many benefits, with standardization of your IHC being the foremost advantage. These buffers enable you to achieve the highest quality IHC results without compromising antigen detection. Additionally, the buffers can be utilized in other immune assays, such as immunofluorescence on sections, flow cytometry on fixed cells, and hybridization of sections with antibody detection.

The Retriever IHC buffers empower you to effectively control non-specific staining at every step of the immunohistochemistry process. They are especially recommended for research pathology, where a multitude of polyclonal and/or low-affinity antibodies are commonly used, in contrast to diagnostic applications.

We are delighted to announce the addition of new high-quality tissue slides to our Retriever program, designed to provide optimal section attachment and preserve tissue morphology after epitope recovery in the 2100 Retriever (or any other HIER or proteolytic treatment of tissue sections).

Our developed and produced slides come in two types: supercharged slides, capable of accommodating any tissue type, including small and fatty tissues, and slides that securely bind the tissue through chemical cross-linking.

All of our slides meet the requirements of DIN ISO 8037/1 and are suitable for in vitro diagnostic applications according to IVD Directive 98/79/EC. They are CE-labelled, ensuring their quality and compliance.

Yes, we have achieved it:

You no longer need Tris, EDTA, Citrate, or low or high pH buffers for epitope recovery. Additionally, protease treatment of sections is no longer necessary.

 

A single R-Universal Buffer can replace all of them!

For certain antibodies, you may still require specific buffers. However, there's no need to worry as we also offer the complete collection of Retriever-adapted analogues of standard recovery buffers.
