BRAF Analyte Control
HistoCyte Laboratories’ BRAF V600E Analyte Control consists of two cores negative and positive for expression of BRAF V600E. This provides a cost effective means on controlling for BRAF V600E in immunohistochemistry. These cell lines are derived from the following tumors:
Cell line A: Breast ductal carcinoma
Cell line B: Malignant melanoma
- Cells are fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin and paraffin wax embedded.
- Sections are cut at 4µm, mounted on positively charged slides and dried overnight at 37ºC.
- Cell microarrays (CMA) contain cores that are 1.5-2mm in diameter and 3-3.5mm in length. It is possible to obtain over 300 sections depending on thickness.
