Antibodies guided learning

Antibody Validation* eLearning Course

This modular, animated, and narrated eLearning course was developed to provide a succinct, contextual summary of the Invitrogen antibody validation* and methods for verifying the specificity and functionality of antibodies used for research applications. There are knowledge checks throughout the course to test what you have learned.

*The use or any variation of the word “validation” refers only to research use antibodies that were subject to functional testing to confirm that the antibody can be used with the research techniques indicated. It does not ensure that the product(s) was validated for clinical or diagnostic uses.
