Make Your Own Fluorescent or Chromogenic Multiplex IHC Panel Using UltraTag Multiplex Labeling Kits

UltraTag Multiplex Labeling Kits allow you the freedom to transform your great IHC antibodies into fluorescent or chromogenic multiplex IHC staining panels! Choose the number of biomarkers/kits required and then rapidly transform your IHC antibodies from a single brown stain into 4-color fluorescent multiplex or 3-color chromogenic multiplex immunohistochemistry panels. UltraTag kits efficiently label 50µg @ 1.0 mg/mL of high-affinity, purified antibody in ~2 hours.

UltraPlex technology then allows simple, rapid tissue staining using cocktails of tagged-primary and fluor- or enzyme-labeled anti‑Tag secondary antibodies. You can go from staining to imaging to analysis in one day!

Advantages

Simple labeling procedure, high efficiency tagging, and >80% recovery.
Inclusive kit contains UltraTag labeling reagent and fluor- or enzyme-labeled anti‑Tag detector antibody.
Enables simultaneous detection of multiple primary antibodies from the same species in a single multiplex stain.

Fluorescent Multiplex Labeling Kits

Select 4 different Fluorescent UltraTag kits to create a 4‑plex fluorescent multiplex IHC panel.
Two 4-kit sets available for imagers with (CL490, 550, 595, and 650 fluors) and without spectral unmixing (CL490, 550, 650, and 750 fluors).
All components required to label 50µg of user-provided carrier-free antibody (e.g., no extraneous proteins such as BSA, gelatin, or serum) @ 1mg/mL with >80% yield, and sufficient fluor-labeled anti-Tag detector antibody to stain 15–20 slides. Additional anti‑tag detector antibody is available.
Only equipment required are a pipette and microcentrifuge.

Chromogenic Multiplex Labeling Kits

Antibodies labeled with different Chromogenic UltraTag kits can be combined to create 3‑plex chromogenic multiplex IHC panels using included enzyme-labeled anti‑Tag antibodies.
All components required to label 50µg of user-provided carrier-free antibody (e.g., no extraneous proteins such as BSA, gelatin, or serum) @ 1mg/mL with >80% yield, and sufficient enzyme-labeled anti‑tag detector antibody to stain 15–20 slides. Additional anti‑tag detector antibody is available.
Only equipment required are a pipette and microcentrifuge.
Components needed for staining but not supplied include chromogens and HRP-arrest solution.

How Do I Know If My Antibody Is A Good Candidate for Labeling with UltraTag Kits?

The 50µg antibody is at 0.9–1.1mg/mL in buffer free of extraneous proteins such as BSA, serum, or gelatin. Antibody formulations containing azide, trehalose, or other sugars, as well as, any buffer containing tris, are acceptable.
Select antibodies that work well in your desired application. We recommend selecting clones which stain strongly at <1µg/mL when tested by conventional IHC. However, each antibody is different, and performance of individual clones cannot be guaranteed.
