INTENDED USE: The Ultra High Def TM Polymer HRP Detection System is a non-biotin, two-step detection system suitable for labeling antigens in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues and cryostat sections. The Ultra High Def TM Polymer HRP Detection System may also be used with blood smears, cytosmears, and cell preparations. This System has been developed by directly labeling immunoglobulins with enzymes using a proprietary tandem hyperlabelling technology. This ensures consistent and reproducible immunostaining for all types of nuclear, cytoplasmic and membrane antigens in different types of tissues with significantly lower background than detection systems using biotin and avidin conjugates. Ultra High Def TM Polymer HRP Detection System can simultaneously detect both mouse and rabbit antibodies. This System is suitable for use with mouse IgG, IgM and rabbit primary antibodies, both monoclonal and polyclonal. This Detection System has been designed for automated staining on the Thermo 360 IHC platform. The increased sensitivity of the Ultra High Def TM Polymer HRP Detection System enables faster staining procedures without compromising results. FORMAT: Ready to Use INTRODUCTION: Optimal immunostaining not only depends on the specificity of the primary antibody and other immunoreagents but also depends on obtaining a good signal to noise ratio. Binding of an antibody to its epitopes involves van der Waals forces, electrostatic forces and hydrophobic forces. Certain antibodies have tendency to bind loosely and nonspecifically to unrelated epitopes, which can create undesired background staining. In order to remove these nonspecifically bound antibodies, a thorough washing is required after each immunostaining step. Immuno Wash Buffer is specifically designed to remove such loosely bound antibodies effectively and efficiently and to provide a cleaner background staining. KIT CONTENTS: 8

For every 1 ml of the Ultra High Def TM DAB Buffer to a tube or mixing bottle add 1 drop (approximately 20 µl) of Ultra High Def TM DAB Substrate Chromogen to the buffer. Mix thoroughly. 2. The substrate working solution is stable for two weeks refrigerated at 2-8 C. 3. Working solution volume can be scaled up using the same ratio of buffer to Chromogen 4. Dispose of unused DAB/ Substrate working solution in appropriate waste stream according to local, state, and federal regulations. RECOMMENDED STAINING PROTOCOL 1. Paraffin embedded tissue sections must be deparaffinized with xylene or dewaxing agent and rehydrated with a graded series of ethanol and water washes before staining. Follow the standard dewaxing and rehydration protocol used in your lab. 2. The investigator needs to optimize the incubation times for primary antibodies. 3. Each immunostaining run should include known positive and negative controls to assure proper functioning of the staining system and aid in valid interpretation of the results. 4. Consult the primary antibody datasheet for recommended for antigen recovery treatments. Perform epitope recovery pretreatments before starting the staining procedure. PROTOCOL RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Pretreatment Solution/Protocol: Please refer to the respective primary antibody datasheet for recommended pretreatment solution and protocol. 2. Peroxidase Block: Block for 5 minutes with Ultra High Def TM Peroxidase Block 3. Background Blocker: Incubate for 5 minutes with the Ultra High Def TM Background Blocker 4. Primary Antibody: Please refer to the respective primary antibody datasheet for recommended primary antibody 5. Enhancer: Incubate for 10 minutes with Ultra High Def TM Enhancer 6.

Incubate tissue for 5 minutes using Ultra High Def TM DAB Substrate Buffer/Chromogen mixture Ultra High Def TM 8. Counterstain: Counterstain with Ultra High Def TM Hematoxylin for 2 minutes TYPICAL CONTROLS: Positive Control: A tissue known to contain the desired antigen, which has yielded positive staining in the past. Negative Controls: Reagent Controls a. Substitute normal non-immune serum from the same host animal as the primary antibody (e.g. if using mouse monoclonal primary antibodies, use mouse non-immune serum). b. Substitute matching host species isotype control for primary antibody c. Use antigen-adsorbed primary antibody (i.e. antibody reagent which has been adsorbed with the target antigen to remove specific antibody) Negative Controls: Tissue control A tissue known to not contain the desired antigen. 9

10 PRECAUTIONS: Specimens, before and after fixation and all materials exposed to them, should be handled as if capable of transmitting infection and disposed of with proper precautions. Never pipette reagents by mouth and avoid contacting the skin and mucous membranes with reagents and specimens. If reagents or specimens come in contact with sensitive areas, wash with copious amounts of water. Microbial contamination of reagents may result in an increase in nonspecific staining. Incubation times or temperatures other than those specified may give erroneous results. The user must validate any such change. The MSDS is available upon request. LIMITATIONS AND WARRANTIES: There are no warranties, expressed or implied, which extend beyond this description. Diagnostic BioSystems is not liable for property damage, personal injury, or economic loss caused by this product. STORAGE AND STABILITY: Store at 2ºC to 8ºC. Do not use after expiration date printed on vial. If reagents are stored under conditions other than those specified in the package insert, they must be verified by the user. Diluted reagents should be used promptly; any remaining reagent should be stored at 2ºC to 8ºC. Stability is months (see expiration date on reagent bottles) TROUBLESHOOTING: Follow the antibody specific protocol recommendations according to data sheet provided.
