Novocastra Peroxidase Block, RE7101, is intended for use in the peroxidase based immunohistochemical (IHC) staining procedures. The presence of pseudoperoxidase (erythrocytes) and endogenous peroxidase in paraffin sections to be stained by immunoperoxidase procedures, can result in nonspecific staining. A method for the blocking of pseudoperoxidase was described (StreefkerkJG, Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry. 20: 829 (1972)). This product is used in a peroxidase based IHC procedure. Incubating sections with Novocastra Peroxidase Block, RE7101, can neutralize endogenous peroxidase activity. 25 mL of reagent is supplied.
