February 2017—Roche launched its Discovery 5-Plex procedure and reagents for immunohistochemistry research applications. This is the first pre-optimized, fully automated multiplex procedure available on the Ventana Discovery Ultra instrument.
The Discovery 5-Plex procedure allows researchers to investigate up to five biomarkers on a single slide, preserving tissue and maximizing data. The procedure provides researchers with a pre-optimized workflow that aims to simplify the staining process. The ready-to-use detection reagents provide crisp, specific signals and distinct information about protein coexpression patterns.
As part of the Discovery 5-Plex procedure launch, four new fluorescent kits used for this procedure will be commercially available—FAM kit, Rhodamine 6G kit, Red 610 kit, and DCC kit.
