Choosing your first primary antibody? Validation, manufacturer transparency, and citation history all matter more than people think.

Proteintech manufactures and validates every antibody in-house, guided by our own validation policy: https://bit.ly/4y0Ur7J

#AntibodyValidation
Gloved hands handling a blue box labeled "Proteintech" with a text overlay saying "What We Wish Every Researcher Knew Before Choosing an Antibody." Various lab items are visible on a light surface. Laboratory supplies including pipette tips, reagent bottles, and a Proteintech-branded box are arranged on a surface. A black overlay features text discussing experiment validation, emphasizing the use of real controls and the validation of every antibody by Proteintech. A digital note from "proteintech" is displayed over a background image of red and turquoise cells. The note reads: "Who made the antibody? A lot of suppliers sell antibodies made by other companies under their own label. If something goes wrong, no one can tell you why. Proteintech manufactures every single antibody in-house, from antigen design to final quality control, so there’s full traceability to the scientists who generated and validated them. (You can also request raw validation files.)" A person in laboratory attire works with a pipette. Text overlays include a note about verifying antibody use and mention that Proteintech antibodies have over 500,000 product citations. Proteintech logo is visible.
