Peroxidase (HRP) Substrates
Vector Laboratories offers two lines of Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) substrates.
Our original HRP substrate kits:
- Provide sensitivity greater than conventional substrates
- Are known for their consistency and reliability
- Supplied as concentrated stock solutions in convenient dropper bottles, stable for one year
The ImmPACT® line of HRP substrates offers the following advantages:
- 2-4 fold greater sensitivity than the original substrate kits
- Supplied with stock solutions in dropper bottles and optimized diluent
- Optimized specifically for immunohistochemistry applications
- Stock solutions stable for one year, working solution stable for up to 14 days at 4 ºC
