Biocare Medical, a leading provider in the field of immunohistochemistry, has unveiled its latest innovation: the Antigen Retrieval Chamber (ARC).
This addition to Biocare Medical’s automation portfolio represents a significant step forward in their suite of decloaking systems designed for consistent and reliable heat-induced epitope retrieval.
Tailored specifically for Heat-Induced Epitope Retrieval (HIER) with in vitro diagnostic (IVD) labeling, ARC brings precision and consistency to the process. Recognizing the critical need for accurate control of heat, pressure, and buffer solutions, ARC is essential for ensuring reliable immunohistochemistry (IHC) and in situ hybridization (ISH) staining.
With the capacity to incubate up to 72 standard slides or 27 double-wide slides per batch, and the ability to adjust temperature from 60 to 121°C, ARC is well-suited for clinical, research, and prion applications.
Optimized for reliable, precise, and consistent antibody staining, ARC is designed to streamline and standardize the staining process while meeting laboratory safety standards and quality control requirements. With onboard memory, ARC ensures accurate monitoring and recording of time, temperature, and pressure, thereby guaranteeing consistent staining results.
Featuring a user-friendly touch screen interface, ARC enhances usability, allowing easy navigation through its extensive feature-set. Users can choose from six pre-set protocols or design custom protocols as needed. Temperature can be programmed in 1°C intervals, and time settings can be customized down to hours, minutes, and seconds, providing a fully adaptable experience for laboratory professionals.
ARC introduces an industry-exclusive feature—the capability to hold up to 27 double-wide slides, accommodating larger tissues. The slide carriers, both standard and double-wide, offer maximum flexibility for various tissue types and sizes. Crafted for unparalleled durability, ARC slide carriers ensure endurance at higher HIER temperatures required by laboratories.
ARC, labeled for IVD use, is now available for purchase in the U.S. and select international markets. Biocare Medical’s customers can anticipate comprehensive training and support from the dedicated customer care teams.
