Dear ,

We are pleased to announce that HistologiX has completed the assay optimization stage of their histology study for Foregen! This is a critical preparatory step that must be completed before conducting the in-depth sub-atomical analysis of the adult foreskin tissue.

What is Assay Optimization?

Assay optimization is a crucial preliminary step in setting up a histology study and ensuring the accuracy of experimental outcomes. An assay is a lab technique that measures and analyzes the presence, concentration, or activity of a substance—such as a protein, enzyme, antibody, or molecule—in a biological sample. This meticulous procedure ensures that researchers achieve precise and consistent results, which are crucial for drawing reliable conclusions.

In preparing for the histology study on human foreskin tissue, HistologiX researchers have focused on optimizing the Elastin, Collagen-I, and Collagen-IV immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays. They conducted a series of experiments and titrations to pinpoint the ideal antibody concentrations and staining protocols for each target protein.
