Choosing Validated Antibodies for Trustworthy Data
The lack of reproducibility in research has been a source of frustration for scientists. Learn why antibody validation is critical for ensuring specificity and what validation methods Bio-Rad is implementing. Our scientists validate the performance of antibodies through CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing by knockout (KO), siRNA knockdown (KD), and immunoprecipitation followed by mass spectrometry (IP-MS).
