February 2018—Vector Laboratories introduced the TrueView Autofluorescence Quenching Kit for removing unwanted fluorescence in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples, blood cells, and structural elements such as collagen and elastin.

December 2017—Vector Laboratories introduced the ImmPress Duet Double-Staining Polymer Kit for immunohistochemistry. The kit enables fast, well-defined localization and visualization of two different target antigens on the same tissue section.

November 2017—Vector Laboratories introduced the Vecta­Fluor Duet kit, offering ready-to-use immunofluorescence double labeling. This kit is ideal for use on a range of frozen and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples, combining primary and secondary antibodies to streamline workflow.

April 2015—This special formulation of Vector Labs’ VectaShield HardSet Mounting Medium, which prevents photobleaching of fluorescent proteins and fluorescent dyes, contains TRITC-phalloidin. Phalloidin is a bicyclic heptapeptide that specifically binds actin filaments within a cell.

April 2014—Vector Laboratories’ Avidin-HRP and Streptavidin-HRP are optimized to yield high signal-to-noise ratios in solid phase assays, such as ELISAs and blotting applications.

August 2013—Vector Laboratories now offers glycoprotein eluting solutions and neoglycoproteins. Five glycoprotein eluting solutions have been generated to complement the company’s range of agarose-bound lectins. These solutions maximize the yield of eluted glycoproteins from the beads and preserve lectin activity for repeat use.

Vector Laboratories now offers its ImmPress polymer detection reagents with alkaline phosphatase as the enzyme detection system. Available as anti-mouse and anti-rabbit ImmPress-AP alkaline-phosphatase polymer reagents, these products are designed to detect primary antibodies made in rabbit and mouse in immunohistochemical staining. They provide greater sensitivity than conventional alkaline-phosphatase antibody conjugates and other alkaline-phosphatase detection reagents.

Vector Laboratories has added to its mouse-on-mouse (MOM) family of detection reagents the MOM ImmPress peroxidase polymer kit. It allows the use of mouse primary antibodies on mouse tissue without background staining, by using a sensitive, one-step, non-biotin MOM ImmPress polymer reagent. The reagent also provides a time savings in the detection protocol, since it is ready to use in one step.

Vector Laboratories has added to its line of Western blot detection reagents two highly active WestVision peroxidase polymer antibody conjugates.
