Anti-FTO antibody (ab94482)

rll yesterday afternoon. I am sorry to hear you have had difficulty obtaining satisfactory results from this antibody.

I would like to reassure you that ab92821 is tested and covered by our 6 month guarantee forICC-IF and mouse. In the event that a product is not functioning in the tested applications and species cited on the product data sheet (and the problem has been reported within 6 months of purchase), we will be pleased to provide a credit note, free of charge replacement or refund.

I would like to investigate this particular case further for you, and also obtain more information for our quality monitoring records. In order to proceed with this, I have enclosed a technical questionnaire below. I would appreciate if you could complete this. It will help you put the information we require together very easily. I can suggest to provide just the information regarding ICC-IF to begin with, as this is covered by the guarantee. As discussed on the telephone, I am sorry to confirm that this antibody is not tested and guaranteed for IHC-P or IHC-Fr. All tested and guaranteed applications and species are listed on the online datasheets.

I would appreciate if you could also provide an image which would help us to assess the results.

With regards to ab94482 and ab106386:

ab94482 is not tested in IHC-Fr, IHC-P and ICC-IF. It has been tested on mouse.

ab106386 is tested in IHC-P only and I am sorry this is not tested in ICC-IF, IHC-Fr or on mouse samples. I have checked the alignment of the humanimmunogen with the mouse protein and this is86%. This is high,so theoreticallythe antibody islikely to detect in mouse. But please note this is not guaranteed because not tested.

I can offer a discount off a future purchase if you buy ab94482and want to testit inin IHC-Fr, IHC-P or ICC-IF. I can also offer a discount of a future purchase in you purchase ab106383 to test in mouse and in IHC-Fror ICC-IF.

I would suggest to wait until the resolution of this case before deciding how you would like to proceed with the discounts. However, I am pleased to provide information on how the discount works.
