Description

The UPII STARTER KIT is a specialized tool designed for professionals in the medical and research fields, offering two distinct applications depending on the specific kit variant.

Antibody Detection Kit

This version of the UPII STARTER KIT is tailored for the detection of the Uroplakin II (UPII) protein, a significant marker in the diagnosis and prognosis of urothelial carcinomas, particularly transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. The kit includes a highly specific mouse monoclonal anti-UPII antibody, known for its superior performance in various applications such as immunohistochemistry (IHC), ELISA, and Western blotting.

Key Features

• High Specificity and Sensitivity: Ensures accurate detection of UPII protein in human tissue samples, including those from the bladder, kidney, prostate, and ovary.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for use with formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) or frozen tissues, and compatible with various detection methods.
• Multiplexing Capability: Can be combined with other antibodies to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
• Comprehensive Protocols: May include detailed protocols for antibody labeling and detection, compatible with automated staining instruments.

Ultrasound Needle Guide System

The Ultra-Pro II™ In-Plane Ultrasound Needle Guides-Multi-Angle Kit is designed to enhance precision in ultrasound-guided medical procedures. It provides real-time needle path visualization, crucial for interventions such as joint infiltration and biopsies.

System Components

• Multi-Angle Bracket: Customizable for various instrument placement angles, enhancing flexibility.
• Disposable Needle Guide: Facilitates accurate needle insertion, compatible with a range of needle sizes.
• CIV-Flex Cover: Included in the kit, with dimensions varying by specific needs.

Features

• Quick-Release Mechanism: Allows easy detachment from the transducer, improving procedural efficiency.
• Gauge Size Inserts: Easy-to-read in low-light conditions, reducing technique variability and procedure time.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with specific ultrasound transducer models from leading manufacturers like GE, Philips, and Siemens.
• Maintenance: Reusable brackets require proper cleaning and disinfection as per the user guide.

Intended Use

Both variants of the UPII STARTER KIT are crafted to meet the high standards expected in medical diagnostics and procedural accuracy. Whether aiding in the detection of critical cancer markers or ensuring precise needle placement, these kits provide essential support to healthcare professionals and researchers alike.
