All IHC stains will include a positive control tissue

• This antibody is best used as part of an antibody cocktail (created in our lab) with cytokeratins CAM5.2 and MAK6; this antibody cocktail is called "Cytokeratin cocktail or CK cocktail"
• When used in a cocktail, this cocktail can identify most cytokeratins

Submit a formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue

Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue block

FFPE tissue section mounted on a charged, unstained slide

Ambient (preferred)

• Unlabeled/mislabeled block
• Insufficient tissue
• Slides broken beyond repair

Immunohistochemical staining and microscopic examination

If requested, an interpretive report will be provided
