3 tips for IHC troubleshooting
The sensitivity and specificity of the primary and secondary antibodies used together with the IHC procedure used, are critical to avoid biased results. Several factors can cause false-positive or false-negative
A focus on ATX-LPA signaling research tools
Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted lysophospholipase D involved in the release of the lipid mediator LPA. Many research tools have been developed to study ATX-LPA signaling. In this post, I invite you to discover
Obtain clear Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation results
Generating high-quality Immunoprecipitation & Western Blot (IP & WB) data has never been easier. See how you can easily achieve this in our Tips & Tricks section to get clean WB-IP.
Breast Cancer - Popular validated primary antibodies for research and biomarker discovery
Use of validated antibodies is primordial for Breast Cancer research and related biomarker discovery. Here, we'll review the main biomarkers involved in this disease and introduce the
Anti-Tag antibodies you can rely on: a focus on GFP and RFP
My colleague Ana introduced in a previous post (3 years ago already!) a selection of the most popular anti-tag antibodies among the research community. I must say that they remain extremely

Lipid-Ligand interaction tools: lipids are not scary intermediates anymore
The first time a cell biologist discovers that there might be a lipid involved in their favourite pathway, it's a bit like finding a wall across the road (just the same situation as when a lipidomist
Immunoassay development: reliable sources of quality reagents
We understand how crucial it is to have access to sustainable, quality sources of reagents when developing and/or producing the same immunoassays over long periods of times. Over the years,
Where to find a sensitive Hyaluronic Acid (HA) quantitative assay
Hyaluronic acid (also called HA or Hyaluronan) is a glycosaminoglycan with elevated viscosity, enabling tissues (eye, skin, joint and synovial fluid...) to resist to physical and
