    ​Rehydration (sometimes dehydration is also used, but in reverse order)

    Temperature: Ambient

    Description: Transfer samples from storage conditions in 100% methanol or ethanol to aqueous buffers through a series of buffer exchanges


    bleach (optional)

    Temperature: Ambient

    Description: Typically incubated with 3% hydrogen peroxide to get rid of internal peroxidase and bleach dark embryos

     

    Alkylation (optional, cannot be done by INTAVIS instrument)

    Temperature: Ambient

    Description: Acetic anhydride in triethanolamine is used to negatively charge tissue, thereby reducing background


    When automated: Acetic anhydride is very unstable in solution, it can be incubated for less than a minute after preparation, so automation is not possible (and probes are generally not required)


    cell wall digestion (optional, in plants only)

    Temperature: Ambient

    Description: Hydrochloric acid is mainly used to hydrolyze cell walls in plant samples


     

    Penetration (time critical)

    Temperature: Ambient or 37°C

    Description: It is critical to allow the probe to contact the sample tissue


    When automated: All proteases should be stable enough not to degrade themselves until use, eg proteinase


     

    hybrid

    Temperature: Usually 50-70°C (RNAse at 37°C)

    Description: Hybridization consists of several steps:

    1.


    2.


    3.


    4.


    5.


    Antibody Incubation

    Temperature: Ambient or lower

    describe:

    In this step, the antibody binds to the antigen on the probe

    1.


    2.


    3, washing step, washing unbound antibody

    When automated: Since essentially all antibodies for detection probes are commercialized, they work at room temperature and have the same specificity


     

    Incubation with alkaline phosphatase buffer (eg NTMT)

    Temperature: Ambient

    Description: Incubate with freshly prepared buffer in preparation for alkaline phosphatase color reaction

    When automated: When using alkaline phosphatase-conjugated antibodies, buffers can precipitate when stored for too long or when prepared prior to use
