Results Summary

I've been very pleased with this antibody. It's not always easy to get a clean blot for this phospho site on AKT, but this antibody has been able to deliver clean, crisp results even at very low protein levels. I recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to have to waste time optimizing their protocols.
