About the R-UNIVERSAL Epitope Recovery Buffer

Epitope recovery on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections requires heat-induced treatment in buffer or sometimes in the proteolytic treatment of the deparaffinized tissue section. Which buffer you use depends on your application and on the exact antibody.

For individual antigens, the time of recovery in the individual buffer should be defined, as this may differ, and the treatment often destroys the epitope.

Universal buffer may be used in any heat-induced epitope recovery system, but was specifically adjusted for the tissue sections processing in the Retriever (CAT.# 62700-20, 62700-10).

By using the R-UNIVERSAL Epitope Recovery Buffer, we guarantee the highest rate of success in recovering epitope for any antibody, especially one that was never previously used on formalin-fixed sections.
