Optibodies

Optibodies is a series of premium monoclonal antibodies, optimized and extensively validated for IHC using recommended control tissues and staining criteria. They represent clones that has not been on the market previously and are created to provide excellent alternatives to more challenging clones.

Key features include:
- High analytical specificity and sensitivity
- Optimized for high pH hier
- Excellent Stability
- Concentrated Antibodies
- Optimal staining results in external quality assessments

 

CD117 clone BSR24, BSH-4015

The BRS24 clone is one of the newest OptibodiesTM and especially the specificity is a characteristic of the clone. If you have an issue with false positive tissues this clone could be an option.

 

EpCAM clone BS14, BSH-7402

The advantage of the BS14 clone is its robustness and optimal performance on multiple IHC platforms, using standard high pH HIER buffer. The BS14 clone is a good alternative with more flexible dilution range. Click here for the NordiQC assessment.

 

CK-pan, clone BS5, BSH-7124

BS5 clone stains both low and high molecular weight cytokeratins as expected from an optimal antibody. The main advantage of the clone is the monoclonality, providing robust performance independent of the tissue and between many protocols. The last evaluation from NordiQC resulted in the highest score in the concentrated antibodies category. Click here for the NordiQC assessment.

 

Napsin A, clone BS10, BSH-2002

Napsin A is predominantly expressed in the lung and kidney.It is important in the differential diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma vs. squamous cell carcinoma. The main advantage of BS10 is its excellent performance, being sensitive and specific as well as easy to optimize.

 

SOX10, clone BS7, BSH-7959

This is one of our most popular Optibodies, it has excellent performance; sensitive and specific. In addition, optimal performance in the NordiQC ratings. SOX10 transcription factor belongs to the Sox-family of transcription factors involved in melanocytes and Schwann cell development and maintenance. SOX10 is expressed in virtually all cases of malignant melanoma, schwannoma, neurofibroma and granular cell tumours.

Melan A, clone BS52, BSH-2003

The specificity and stain intensity are top quality. It is easy to optimize and BS52 does not stain adrenal gland. Melan A is one of the most valuable melanoma markers, it is associated with endoplasmic reticulum and melanosomes. Melan A is also found in other tumors of melanocytic origin such as clear cell sarcoma, melanotic neurofibroma and melanotic schwannoma.
