About this item
Vimentin control slides contain sections of positive staining melanoma and negative staining adipose.
- Tissue type: (+) Tonsil / (-) Adipose
- All control tissue is sectioned on Superfrost® Plus slides
- Staining validation technical memo included in each set
- All tissues are formalin fixed, paraffin embedded FFPE
- All slides are air dried
- IHC slides are cut at 4 µm
- Standard tissue placement is mid-high on slide
Newcomer supply vimentin control slides are for the positive immunohistochemical staining of Vimentin, a ubiquitous intermediate filament found primarily in a wide variety of mesenchymal cells
Staining Results:
Vimentin positive expression will stain brown cytoplasmic staining.
Adipose will stain negative.
Nuclei will stain blue.
These positive control slides are intended to be used to verify histological techniques and reagent reactivity. These slides are to be used for the qualitative purpose of determining positive or negative results, and are not intended to be used for any quantitative purpose.
Vimentin is also commonly used to assess the effects of over-fixation and immunoreaction.
10 set = 10 unstained slides and 1 stained slide.
98 set = 98 unstained slides and 2 stained slides. (First & Last Slides are Stained)
Reactivity of IHC control slides are guaranteed for one year from the date of receipt and should be revalidated after one year to verify continued reactivity.
Please note the following: Allow 2-3 weeks for delivery for large sets. In human tissue unless otherwise indicated.
