Polysciences, Inc., a manufacturing company, announces its new HOPE Fixative Starter Kit. This kit contains all the components necessary to provide improved morphology of cells and tissue in paraffin embedded blocks. One easy-to-use kit that helps save time and money. The HOPE Fixative Starer Kit contains: 10 transportation vials filled with 5 ml HOPE 1 with protection vials, 1 x 1 ml HOPE II and 200 grams of low melting point paraffin.

The HOPE fixation technique does not completely denature or cross-link structural proteins, enzymes and nucleic acids in contrast to other fixation methods. HOPE fixation technique also saves valuable time by eliminating the need to perform antigen unmasking before immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization targeting RNA and DNA, PCR and RT-PCR with properly prepared paraffin embedded tissue sections. Specimens fixed with the HOPE technique allow greater morphology and retrospective studies on the molecular level. HOPE is a registered trademark of DCS, Innovative Diagnostik System, Germany. It is manufactured by DCS, Germany. The manufacturing company offers high-purity monomer and polymer products that are used in many applications in medical devices to enhance critical characteristics. Their particle manufacturing technology has led them to complete lines of precision microparticles that are useful for measurement in nanotechnology applications.
