ISTOCK, UNOLThe evolution of science apps on smart phones over the past decade has gone from general overviews of bacteria, plants, and animals, to those for specialized areas of research and experimental techniques, including those to aid immunohistochemistry (IHC) analyses.
With a considerable number of IHC-related apps now at the disposal of scientists, it can be time-consuming to figure out which one will best suit your needs. To help out, I have developed a short overview of the mobile apps most suitable for IHC lab work based on personally testing them for extended periods of time. I have tried to analyze apps that were designed as IHC productivity tools as well as those that can assist researchers in choosing primary antibodies for IHC and tissue stains.
Based on more than three decades of IHC experience, I think that IHC apps should serve as problem-solving tools rather than a mere collection of protocols and antibody catalogs copied from websites. Usually, protocols and antibodies are chosen far ...
