Thank you for taking the time to complete our questionnaire and contact us. I am sorry to hear you have had difficulty obtaining satisfactory results from this antibody.

The details you have kindly provided will provide us with vital information for our monitoring of product quality

I appreciate the time you have spent in the laboratory and understand your concerns. It is regrettable the results have not been succesful. Reviewing the details, I am sorry there are no further tips to provide on this occasion to help improve the results. I can suggest you have regrettably recieved a bad vial.

I apologise for the inconvenience and am pleased to offer you a free of charge replacement or credit note in compensation.

In addition, I can suggest you may like to consider the following suggestions as a check for future experiments:

1. The time for antigen retreival can sometimes require optimization, and a shorter can be better. I can recommend to try 2, 5, 10 minutes.

2. We recommend not to mix blocknig agents in one experiment. This can sometimes affect the results. Try 10% Serum only.

3. Wash 4 times rather than 2 times at each wash step.

Thank you for your cooperation. I look forward to hearing from you with details of how you would like to proceed.

Thank you for taking the time to contact us. I am sorry to hear you have had difficulty obtaining satisfactory results from this antibody.

I would like to investigate this particular case further for you, and also obtain more information for our quality monitoring records.
