Why does Elabscience^® effort to build KO validated antibody products？

Antibody is one of the most common tools used in biological research. It is widely used in immunoassay related research technologies, including Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting, Immunoprecipitation and Immunohistochemistry. At the same time, antibody is also an important tool for clinical monitoring, which can be used for related diagnosis and treatment.

However, in recent years, scientists have found that there has been a serious "repeated crisis" in antibody related research. There are huge differences in the quality and performance consistency of the antibodies used in the study, which has a significant adverse impact on the repeatability of biomedical research. The problem of repeatability has been perplexing academic circles. According to the statistics of nature, 80% of biologists can't repeat other people's experimental results, and 60% can't repeat their own experimental results. The quality problem of antibody reagent is one of the main culprits leading to the unrepeatable experiment. The human protein atlas project has tested 9000 antibody products from 29 suppliers, and more than 50% of them fail to work effectively. It is estimated that $350 million and $800 million are wasted annually on the use of unidentified antibodies in the United States and around the world, such antibodies can lead to experimental failure or unreliable results.

In order to solve the repeated antibody crisis in the market and respond to IWGAV's proposal, Elabscience^® has launched KO cell line, KO cell lysate and high-quality antibody verified by KO lysate. It can not only provide guarantee for product quality, but also provide reference data for researchers when purchasing antibodies, customers can quickly find stable and reliable antibody products, save precious experimental samples and time of researchers, and accelerate the output of scientific research results.
