Application Notes for AEC reagent
(THIS KIT CONTAINS approximately 166 X CHROMOGEN, When diluted will make approx. 425 ml))
1. To 5 ml of distilled or deionized water in a test tube, add two drop of reagent B buffer, mix well.
2. Add one drop of reagent C chromogen, mix well.
3. Add one drop of reagent S substrate, mix well. This ready to use reagent is good for several hours. The unused AEC solution can be discarded according to city, county, state, province or country's regulations.
Application: IHC, ICC
1. After the peroxidase reaction, wash slide with buffer (this buffer should not contain any sodium azide because peroxidase is inactivated), and distilled/deionized water.
2. Add few drops of ready to use AEC reagent, incubate at RT or 37 degree C for 5-10 minutes.
3. Wash 2-5X with buffer, followed by rinsing with distilled/deionized water.
4. Add counterstain compatible with AEC, we use hematoxylin 30-60 seconds .
5. Wash with tap water, buffer pH 7.4 or higher followed by rinsing with distilled/deionized water.
6. Mount slide with aqueous mounting medium, we use our IHM please follow the protocol for mounting medium.

Other Notes
Small volumes of AEC reagent vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
