In clinical diagnostics, CE/IVD primary antibodies serve as indispensable reagents in immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the precise identification of disease markers within patient tissue samples. These antibodies are developed and rigorously validated to comply with CE certification and IVD regulations, ensuring accuracy, reproducibility, and safety in diagnostic applications. Their use in pathology is critical for diagnosing cancers, infectious diseases, and other pathological conditions by detecting specific antigenic targets.
Diagnostic Use of CE/IVD Primary Antibodies in Immunohistochemistry
- Validated Clinical Performance: CE/IVD-marked primary antibodies undergo stringent validation to demonstrate high sensitivity and specificity for diagnostic targets. This validation assures reliable detection of disease-associated proteins, essential for accurate histopathological diagnosis.
- Essential for Infectious Disease Diagnosis: IHC can enable definitive identification of infectious organisms when morphology and special stains are insufficient.
- Cancer Diagnostics and Biomarker Detection: CE/IVD primary antibodies are widely used to detect tumor markers that guide diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decisions. Their specificity is crucial to avoid false positives/negatives in clinical pathology workflows.
- Stringent Controls and Standardization: Immunohistochemical diagnostics demands meticulous attention to antibody selection, proper controls, and standardized protocols to prevent erroneous interpretations. Proper documentation and validation are critical to reproducible and clinically useful results.
