Dear Gayle:

Zymed sells the Histostain-DS kit (cat. no. 95-9999) for doublestaining any
combination of mouse, rabbit, rat, or guinea pig primary antibodies on human
tissues. This kit uses a double staining enhancer (comparable to the
doublestain block) that is sold separately (cat. no. 50-056).

Sincerely,

John Bliss
Zymed Laboratories, Inc.
