Thank you for contacting us. ab1274, ab9116 and ab98795 are not covered under Abpromise guarantee as per customer request. I am including other product under IHC-Fr application with PFA as fixative. Ab98795 is a secondary antibody; Abreview discount code is not valid for this product. However if customer provide us Abreview we will assign the Abpoints by manually publishing the Abreview. You can forward the Abreview to me. The Abreview discount code for ab1274 and ab9116 can be provided however customer needs to explain how they have expressed tag conjugated protein in drosophila; please also forward the end user details. Please be also advised that ab1274, ab9116, ab9134, ab84164 are the antibodies against tags. These tags are not naturally present in any cells. These products can only be used in detecting the tag conjugated recombinant proteins that are expressed in tissues or cells. I hope this information is helpful to you. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any more advice or information.

Thank you for contacting us. These antibodies are against tags so species is not applicable for these products. "10 min in 4% paraformaldehyde and proceeds with the staining" is not enough information that we need for any recommendations. Please ask the customer to provide following info - Are they planning to use tissue sections or cells? What type of tissue section or cells they will be using e.g. Eye, Brain etc. - Are they planning Immunohistochemistry on frozen sections or paraformaldehyde sections thereby incubating sections with acetone or ethanol or treating sections with antigen retrieval method? - Now these antibodies are against tags so you may ask how they are expressing the tag in cells or tissues. Please provide the above information then only we can provide further confirmation.

Thank you for your patience. I have heard back from the originator of this antibody and your protocol looks fine, especially since the monoclonal worked under the same conditions. There may have been a problem with the vial/lot that you received and I can certainly offer you a different batch to try, an alternative antibody (I know that you mentioned the chicken polyclonal), or a refund. Please let me know which you would prefer. Have a great weekend.

Thank you for returning the vial of ab1274 to us which we received today. There was powder and no liquid in the vial which is extremely bizarre; all the other vials of that same lot are fine. A new vial of ab1274 will be shipped out to your attention to Receiving at The Rockefeller University and you will receive the vial on Tuesday 1/13. For your reference, it is order#30727. Before your lab places your next order with us, contact me and I will comp the shipping charges.

What is the lot number (it is on the vial) that you received? I have checked some of the vials of ab1274 that we have in stock and they are all in liquid form. Did you spin the vial down?

Thank you for your enquiry. Ab1274 has so far only been tested for application in immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry. We don't have have any data to this point as to how ab1274 will work in immunofluorescence. If you decide to go ahead and purchase this product, please let us know how you get on and in return we will forward a reward of your choice, typically an Amazon gift voucher.
