In this chapter, we outline the importance of immunohistochemical analysis applied to tissue sections and review the state-of-the-art IHC implementations, in particular those using a microfluidic probe. We demonstrate the efficacy and applicability of specific probe head designs in the context of surface assays by performing uniform and multiplexed immunohistochemistry on tissue sections in the micrometer to millimeter scale.
