PrecisionAb™ Antibodies: Defining New Standards for Western Blotting

Choosing the right primary antibody is an arduous task. A lot of standardization needs to happen before we can determine that the antibody is specific and sensitive enough for the purpose of our experiment. The new PrecisonAb™ Antibodies from Bio-Rad go through vigorous testing and validation before they are deemed suitable, thus eliminating the process of trial and error for researchers. The video describes how the PrecisionAb antibodies are developed.
