Immunofluorescent staining within hours, not days

Written by Amsbio

AMSBIO (Oxford, UK) has launched CellO-IF – an all-in-one immunofluorescent staining reagent kit designed to accelerate the labeling of organoids and spheroids directly in hydrogels or extracellular matrices, while preserving delicate structures and cellular integrity.

Immunofluorescence (IF) allows detection and localization of antigens in diverse types of tissues in various cell preparations. The technique provides excellent sensitivity and amplification of signal by comparison to immunohistochemistry. However, traditional IF staining is a labor-intensive, multi-step process. CellO-IF revolutionizes this by streamlining the procedure.

CellO-IF eliminates the need for harvesting, clearing, transferring, and centrifuging, significantly reducing sample loss, and generating high-quality data within hours. This simplified workflow accelerates your research and delivers unparalleled 3D preservation of the natural structure of samples, enhancing the accuracy of your results. Providing enhanced antigen visualization, CellO-IF not only provides stunning high-resolution images but has also been proven to help label samples using primary antibodies that were unsuccessful using traditional methods.

Available in two optimized formats for labeling of 3D and 2D samples – CellO IF is proven to boost the signal of your targets of interest thereby producing the highest quality images and clearer research insights.
