ANSWER: |
Thank you for confirming these details and for your cooperation.
I am sorry this batch seems to have a lower affinity than the other batches before have had. As the customer has used this antibody on mouse successfully before, we will replace the vial received with a new vial. Please ask the customer to submit an Abreview with his data so we do know that the clone normally works on mouse (as opposed to predicted to mouse as our current knowledge was).
Please confirm the customer would like to receive a new vial of a new lot of the ab49931.
I am looking forward to your reply. |

ANSWER: |
Thank you for your enquiry. I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties with this product ab49931 in ICC/IF. Often it is possible to make suggestions that help resolve problems. We will happily offer technical support but please bear in mind that this product has not been tested in mouse species, only predicted to react, therefore it might not be suitable for use. I have looked through the protocols you used and it seems fine to me. Besides, you were able to obtain satisfactory results with a different antibody by using the same protocol. Therefore, I can only assume that in this occasion, this ab49931 is not suited for use in mouse species and we will not be able to offer our Abpromise guarantee. In any case, can I encourage you to submit an Abreview via the online product datasheet? We always encourage customers to send their results back to us, whether positive or negative, and we make all product information available to other researchers. We reward each Abreview with Abpoints which can be used for discounts off future purchases and gifts. If you decide to submit an Abreview, please include a note that you have already spoken to me, so that I will be able to quickly publish your Abreview, as I have already gone through your protocols. To find out more about our Abreview system, please see the following URL: http://www.abcam.com/abreviews Should you require any further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. |
