Breast Analyte Control
-
- For Research Use Only
- 2 Cores, one negative and one positive for HER2, ER and PR.
HistoCyte Laboratories’ multi-purpose Breast Analyte Control is a qualitative control that contains two cell lines that demonstrate positive and negative expression of ER, PR and HER2. Ideal for use as a same slide control in immunohistochemistry (IHC) to demonstrate the reagents have been correctly applied to the slide. These cell lines are derived from the following tumors:
Cell line A: Osteosarcoma
Cell line B: Breast ductal carcinoma
- 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.
