[Histonet] comparisons between....

[Amos Brooks]

Hi,
	I always say that "No one company can do it all". Not all antibodies are made 
by all companies. Not all antibodies made by different companies are the same. 
There is a lot of re-selling and re-packaging of antibodies. So some 
antibodies that are indeed the same are often marked up considerably.
	It would be easier to compare specific antibodies from different companies. 
If you start with a few antibodies then getting suggestions from various user 
groups like this one as to which antibody folks use and under what conditions. 
Short of that you might need to compare them by trying them yourself. Some 
companies offer samples or trial sizes. Ultimately, if done right, you would 
end up with antibodies purchased from at least three companies. So to start 
the volley: what is the most common antibody you run?
