Anti ef1α

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Anti-EF1α is a laboratory reagent used to detect and quantify the presence of the protein Elongation Factor 1-alpha (EF1α) in biological samples. EF1α is a highly abundant protein involved in protein synthesis. Anti-EF1α is a specific antibody that can bind to and identify EF1α, allowing researchers to measure its levels in cells or tissues.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
