Kits for increasing immunofluorescence sensitivity using HRP-catalyzed tyramide signal amplification with the choice of next-generation fluorescent CF® dyes or biotin.

• Increase sensitivity by up to 100-fold
• Use lower primary antibody concentrations
• Boost signal in challenging samples, like human FFPE tissues
• Choose from six bright and photostable CF® dyes or biotin

Tyramide amplification, sometimes called Catalyzed Reporter Deposition (CARD), is an enzyme-mediated detection method that uses the catalytic activity of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) to generate high density labeling of a target protein or nucleic acid sequence in situ. The tyramide amplification method has been reported to increase the sensitivity by up to 100-fold compared to conventional avidin-biotin detection. Multiple rounds of tyramide signal amplification can be performed for multiplex detection.

These kits includes choice of six CF® dye tyramides or biotin tyramide. CF® dyes are line of next-generation fluorescent dyes, with advantages in brightness and photostability compared to other dyes.
