Polymer-based reagents are a more recent introduction into IHC detection methodology than traditional avidin and biotin conjugates, such as ABC kit formats. Polymers offer distinct advantages over these traditional methods particularly for applications such as multiple antigen labeling (multiplexing) on the same tissue section, or in instances where detectable levels of endogenous biotin may be problematic.

WestVision™ Peroxidase Polymer antibody conjugates are based on a proprietary method of polymerizing enzymes and attaching these enzyme polymers to antibodies. The result allows a higher density of enzymes to access a target with minimal interference, providing excellent signal-to-noise-ratio in western blot detection.
