A-PAP Pen Mini & Regular

This pen is designed to provide a water repellant barrier when a circle is drawn around a specimen/section. This barrier retains antisera within the defined area and ensures that only the amount of antibody needed for sufficient reaction is used, thus reducing waste. Multiple sections, separated by individual PAP Pen barriers, can be applied to the same slide and easily compared.

Tissue Capture Pen

The Tissue Capture Pen improves section attachment to glass slides during immunohistochemical staining. It creates a sticky surface on the glass slide ideally suited for paraffin or frozen section attachment. The Tissue Capture Pen greatly improves section adherence throughout long immunostaining protocols. It can be used in conjunction with the Super Pap Pen Liquid Blocker (#DAI-PAP-S) or the Mini Pap Pen Liquid Blocker (#DAI-PAP-S-M) which reduce the amount of antibody needed during labeling.
