Performing the right controls for your experiment can make the difference between great and unusable data. Isotype controls are one of the controls that can improve your experiment by determining background staining. However they have to be used correctly and in the right situation.

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • The role of isotype controls
  • How to choose the right isotype control
  • When and how to use them
  • The role of unstained and isoclonic controls
