INNOVEX  Biosciences is developer and manufacturer of an array of innovative and unique Life Sciences products and antibodies that are utilized in IHC, Histopathology, Immunofluorescence, Flow cytometry and Live cell functional assays. 
 
INNOVEX was founded in 1993 to provide innovation and technologies to standardadize and simplify such immunoassays as IHC and IF and make them fast, free of troubleshooting and background. 
 
Innovex has remained true to its original promise of innovation and quality and serves the field with many revolutionary products such as STAT No-wash, No-background IHC STAINING KITS, UNIVERSAL, BACKGROUND-FREE ANIMAL IHC Kit, Fc RECEPTOR BLOCKER, BACKGROUND BUSTER, UNI-TRIEVE (Low temperature Retrieval system) and several permanent mounting media for IHC, IF, H&E and special stains AND that is to name a few. 

 

 
 
 
AP Chromogens for IHC

AP Chromogens for IHC



We offer a wide choice of specific chromogens for immunohistochemistry (IHC), for use with the 2 enzymes most used in this technique: horseradish peroxidase (HRP for Horseradish Peroxidase) and alkaline phosphatase (AP). Chromogens are chemical compounds used in IHC labeling procedures that produce a colored product that can be visualized by light microscopy. The choice of chromogen to use is directly related to the enzyme used in the test. Indeed, the enzyme will catalyze the conversion of the chromogenic substrate to produce a colored precipitate. Each enzyme can catalyze the conversion of specific substrates. Here are some examples of chromogens for HRP :

HRP:
  • Aminoethyl carbazole (AEC)
  • 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB)
  • 3,3'5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)
  • Emerald
