ICL Isotype Control
ICL Isotype Control is designed for use as a negative control in immunological assays, particularly flow cytometry and other antibody-based detection techniques. It helps researchers evaluate non-specific antibody binding and distinguish background fluorescence or signal from specific antigen–antibody interactions.
By matching the relevant characteristics of the primary antibody, such as immunoglobulin class, subclass, and conjugate, an isotype control provides a reference for assessing non-specific staining. This supports more reliable interpretation of experimental results and helps researchers establish appropriate gating and background signal levels.
Applications:
-
Flow cytometry and cell analysis.
-
Assessment of non-specific antibody binding.
-
Evaluation of background fluorescence.
-
Optimization of antibody staining protocols.
-
Immunological and cellular research.
ICL Isotype Control is a useful experimental control for improving the interpretation and consistency of antibody-based assays.
