Answer

Thank you for contacting us.
As shown on the product datasheet, www.abcam.com/ab18446, this product is a whole antiserum.
Unpurified antibodies will not have a concentration stated on the datasheet. For whole antiserum (such as ab18446), culture supernatant or ascites fluid products the concentration has not been determined. Unpurified antibody preparations vary significantly in specific antibody concentration. One may refer to the “concentration estimate” area in the following link as a guideline for estimation: https://www.abcam.com/index.html?pageconfig=technicalfaqs#8. (Concentration estimate: 1-10 mg/ml for Whole antiserum).
Please remember that these dilutions and concentration estimates are simply recommended as a starting point, and it may be necessary to adjust the dilution based on the experimental results.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

Question

Product code: 11400
Inquiry: Hi, I am looking for an antibody against EGFR (ErbB1) to use on human and mouse cell lines for FACS with a FITC label and I have found ICR10. I was wondering if you could tell me which antibody to buy to use an an Isotope control (rat) with this antibody? Mnay thanks in advance

Answer

Thank you for contacting us.

The only isotype control we can offer is ab18446; https://www.abcam.com/Rat-IgG2a-kappa-monoclonal-RTK2758-FITC-Isotype-control-ab18446.html

Please note that the concentration of isotype is not known because it is not a purified antibody. When using along with ab11400 you will need to optimize the dilution of antibody for better results.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.
