Overview
The Decloaking Chamber NxGen has been designed for ease of use in heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER). It has 5 discrete
temperature settings ranging between 60ºC and 110ºC with user programmable times. The 110ºC heat-induced epitope retrieval
protocol can be completed from start to finish in under an hour. With a capacity of 72 slides and only minutes of hands-on time per
run, the NxGen offers a walk-away capability similar to fully automated staining instruments.
The Decloaking Chamber NxGen transfers run data to a USB drive for export to a user’s computer. The run data recorded includes the
date and time per run with temperature and pressure readings throughout. With the Decloaking Chamber NxGen retaining the settings
from the last run, a quick start of the same protocol is possible.
The Decloaking Chamber NxGen is an excellent tool for HIER. The proper use of heat and pressure in conjunction with the appropriate
retrieval solutions is of the utmost importance for consistent immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining. The Decloaking Chamber NxGen is
designed to optimize and standardize antibody staining procedures and has been engineered to pass strict laboratory safety requirements.
Temperature, pressure and time can be monitored and recorded with the Decloaking Chamber NxGen to produce consistent staining.
Specifications
Intended Use
The Decloaking Chamber NxGen is a programmable bench top temperature pressure chamber intended for professional laboratory use
only. It is programmed to allow the precise pressurized heating necessary for optimal antigen retrieval and has the capability to perform
at 5 discrete temperatures ranging between 60ºC and 110ºC. The Decloaking Chamber NxGen is also suitable for deparaffinazation
along with appropriate reagents.
WARNING: Do not use the Decloaking Chamber NxGen for any other purpose than stated in this manual. Failure to adhere to these
guidelines may result in damage to the instrument or personal injury.
