Biocare Medical’s Supernova antibodies contain a higher antibody concentration than standard predilutes.
Clients now have the option of preserving limited tissue specimens while still providing multi-antigen identification in about the same time as an antibody cocktail. This is achieved using Supernova antibodies in sequential incubations combined with Biocare’s double stain detection. Unique cocktails can also be created with ease as Supernova antibodies have been prepared in optimal diluents for specific tissue types. Supernova antibodies require between 10- and 20-minute incubations.
Biocare is introducing IHC antibodies in prostate, breast, and lung cancers, as well as for infectious disease, in Supernova format. Widely used prostate cancer IHC markers now available in 2X and 3X Supernova formats include AMACR, CK HMW (34BE12), cytokeratin 5/14, ERG, PS04S, and p63. The breast markers p120 catenin and E-cadherin and herpes simplex virus 1 and 2 are now available separately as 2X Supernovas.
