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
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 most popular validated
Evolutions in Molecular Cloning to save time and make life easy
As with this painted representation of (surrealist!) DNA, to a certain extent, molecular cloning is an art.
Unfortunately for newcomers, or fortunately for experts, it's required for many downstream applications
How is inflammation quantification evolving?
Inflammation is involved in many fields including cosmetology, drug discovery (including RNA-based vaccines), and diagnostic index development, as well as being linked to almost every disease such as HIV,
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 popular, showing
Establish if a treatment modulates immune response, even in a conflicting background
In a recently published study, researchers sought to elucidate if 2 treatments modulated immune response or not, despite the available evidence being conflicting. The method that made the difference and
How a multiplex ELISA helps development of rapid diagnostic tests
One of the challenges in R&D is to find robust technologies to develop diagnostic tests. Notably, it could be within a context of asymptomatic infections for which reliable detection of positive specimens
Study 10 cytokines and more for the price and simplicity of a single ELISA
I just want to briefly outline in this post the power of antibody microarray when it comes to time and cost saving as well as versatility. Whether you want to do multiple profiling or quantitative studies,
How to monitor inflammatory cytokines in anti-COVID drug discovery
The close relation between Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), unpaired adaptive immune responses and overexpression of inflammatory cytokines has been described more than a decade ago (1, 2).

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, we've established
Why replace fluorescent markers with lanthanide nanoparticles to improve detection?
According to the WHO (World Health Organization), early diagnosis of diseases is one of the key factors in the world to save lives and reduce the cost of treatment. Faced with these recommendations, in
