Based in Hambug, Germany, MS Validated antibodies (MSVA) supply top-tier monoclonal antibodies for immunohistochemistry that have been extensively validated on tissues. Their highest priority being quality, they offer an extremely sophisticated product selection: Only 155 out of the first 6'000 evaluated antibodies were selected for their portfolio. MSVA provides users with unique product documentation that allows them to better understand their antibodies.
Key features include:
- All MSVA antibodies validated for Immunohistochemistry on TMAs containing 76 different normal tissues
- Unique product documentation for all MSVA antibody (images, protocol recommendations & performance characteristics)
- MSVA offers only one antibody clone per target to avoid selection dilemma for pathologists and researchers
- All antibodies are also available BSA and azide free
„With the current data on the market pathologists or researchers know only a little part of the behavior of an antibody. The rest is unknown.“
The goal of MS Validated Antibodies is to reveal close to 100% of the staining characteristics of an antibody so pathologists and researchers know exactly what stainings are to be expected.
Antibody Validation
MS Validated Antibodies is devoted to delivering optimal monoclonal antibodies for immunohistochemistry and to provide the users with a unique product documentation enabling them to know as much as possible on their antibodies. Key features of the MSVA package include:
- Highly stringent criteria for product selection: Only 150 out of the first 6'000 evaluated antibodies were selected for the MSVA portfolio.
- Unique product documentation including images from more than 50 different normal tissues and more than 20 tumor images per antibody.
- Protocol suggestions for manual staining and autostainers (Dako, Leica, Ventana).
- Published data on the performance characteristics of our antibodies are compiled on the MSVA homepage (if available).
- Extensive educational content is provided for every antibody including links to other relevant sites.
Extensively validated, high-quality antibodies are key to successful experiments. Optimal antibodies are particularly critical for multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry where even one cross-reactive antibody can spoil an entire experiment.
Most of MSVA's antibodies are rabbit recombinant antibodies. These share the advantage of complete reproducibility of their production because they are not generated by potentially unstable hybridoma cells but produced “in lab” based on the known DNA sequence of the antibody chains.
