Given the increasingly fast pace with which research is conducted, it’s natural to try to develop custom antibodies as quickly as possible. This has led to the introduction of accelerated protocols that promise ready-to-use antibodies in as little as 28 days. Unfortunately, these short protocols are simply marketing gimmicks that will ultimately disappoint the researcher…. Continue Reading
