Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of a signaling conjugate, embodiments of a method of using the signaling conjugates, and embodiments of a kit comprising the signaling conjugate. The disclosed signaling conjugate comprises a latent reactive moiety and a chromogenic moiety that may further comprise a linker suitable for coupling the latent reactive moiety to the chromogenic moiety. The signaling conjugate may be used to detect one or more targets in a biological sample and are capable of being covalently deposited directly on or proximally to the target. Particular disclosed embodiments of the method of using the signaling conjugate comprise multiplexing methods.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for labelling one or more morphological markers in a biological sample that are characteristic of one or more molecular features. In particular, system and methods are described for labelling one or more morphological markers in a biological sample with covalently deposited narrow band detectable moieties. Narrow band detectable moiety labelling of the one or more morphological markers permits higher order multiplexed assays due to conservation of available spectral bandwidth. Furthermore, as compared to conventional counterstaining methods, covalent deposition of one or more detectable moieties can provide flexibility and robustness with regard to the order in which biomarkers and morphological markers are labeled in a given staining protocol.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method of staining a biological specimen (e.g. a single serial tissue section derived from a biological sample) with one or more routine and/or special statins while concomitantly labeling the same biological specimen with one or more detectable moieties without the need for stripping any stain or evaluating different images of stained serial tissue sections of a biological specimen. In some embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to a biological specimen stained with one or more conventional dyes, and where the biological specimen further includes one or more biomarkers labeled with one or more detectable moieties.
