Antibodies are tremendously useful and versatile tools and they have found use in many areas of life science research.

However, antibodies can be difficult to make and are used in inherently complex biological systems. Consequently, they can be prone to quality issues: batch-to-batch variability, lack of specificity, or poor sensitivity. The impact of this can be substantial, both financially and scientifically as identified in recent studies. Learn how at Abcam, we are raising industry quality standards by using newer and improved technology to manufacture and...
