Immunohistochemistry Controls
Cell Signaling Technology (CST) offers control reagents to help verify that your IHC assays are specific and believable.
SignalSlide® IHC Controls
CST scientists developed SignalSlide® IHC Controls as a valuable tool to assess the performance of staining reagents and methods. SignalSlide® IHC Controls contain formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cell pellets as controls for immunohistochemistry protocols. Each slide contains a negative and a positive pellet, and each set contains five slides.

Blocking Peptides
Blocking peptides are useful tools that demonstrate antibody specificity by preventing the interaction between antibody and antigen. All of the blocking peptides have been shown by CST scientists to block antibody/antigen interaction specifically by IHC.
