Applications

The Abpromise guarantee

Our Abpromise guarantee covers the use of ab188229 in the following tested applications.

The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Application Abreviews Notes
WB
1/2000. Detects a band of approximately 23 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 25 kDa).
IHC-P
