Post-mortem human brain tissue

Proteintech are excited to host the IHC experts from Manchester Brain Bank, a biobank centre who collect and supply human brain tissues for research nationally and internationally. Led by Dr. Andrew Robinson, his team have many years of experience performing IHC on post-mortem brain tissue samples. Since its inception in the 1980s, the Brain Bank have published over 400 papers on frontotemporal dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. Post-mortem tissue IHC often has issues due to inconsistent sample handling, long-term storage, age at collection, artefacts. Different tissue types will also have their own challenges.
