Summary
Antibodies are widely used immunodetection reagents in life science research. However, in recent years, the spotlight has been keenly focused on antibody reproducibility and its impact on life science research.
At our Reproducible Science Week (June 1-5, 2020), the digital sessions focused on the issue of reproducibility, discussing the current thinking on antibody validation, setting new standards, and how to drive change within our industry.
Sessions topics: antibody validation - specificity and consistency, the role of the antibody suppliers in supporting scientific reproducibility, recombinant antibody technologies - improving reproducibility and specificity, recombinant antibodies enabling breakthroughs, the future vision for reproducibility in the life sciences.
