How to Choose an Antibody
Choosing an antibody starts with the intended experiment. For protein detection applications such as Western blot or immunofluorescence, sensitivity and epitope recognition in lysates are primary concerns. For immunoprecipitation and co-immunoprecipitation, consider antibody format, host species compatibility, and whether the reagent has been validated under pull-down conditions similar to your protocol.
For target enrichment before mass spectrometry, we recommend selecting antibodies with documented IP-MS validation. Review target specificity, species reactivity, clonality, and modification state when studying phospho- or PTM-enriched samples. Use the product filter below to compare catalog options and match reagents to your sample type and downstream MS goals.
