  • IFA (immunofluorescence assay) is a technique that uses fluorescence microscopy. This technique uses the specificity of antibodies to antigen to target fluorescent reporters to specific targets within a cell, and therefore allows visualization of the distribution of the target through the sample.

    Immunofluorescence can be used on tissue sections, cultured cell lines or individual cells and may be used to analyze the distribution of antigens. Immunofluoresence can be used in combination with other, non-antibody, methods of fluorescent staining, for example use of DAPI to label DNA.

  • ZEUS Scientific IFA test systems provide laboratories with a wide assortment of substrates and kit sizes to choose from for autoimmune and infectious disease testing.

    ZEUS IFA products also include Zorba-NS® sample diluent – a propriety component which decreases background noise thereby increasing the signal:noise ratio making the slides easier to read and discern the appropriate staining pattern.

    ZEUS Scientific IFA products undergo a strict manufacturing process that includes strict fixation methods which yield consistent cell populations and decrease lot-to-lot variability. The manufacturing process also yields large cells for easy viewing and characterization.
