The Hep-2 is a laboratory equipment used for the detection and identification of antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) in human serum samples. It is a cell-based indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) system that utilizes Hep-2 cells as the substrate. The Hep-2 system provides a standardized method for the screening and semi-quantitative analysis of ANAs, which are associated with various autoimmune disorders.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
