[Histonet] Help with a survey on research antibodies

[Chiriboga, Luis]

Dear Colleagues,

You are all well  aware of the reproducibility issues when using antibodies for IHC. I'm working with the Global Biological Standards Institute (GBSI) to address two important issues-1) cell culture authentication practices and 2) research antibodies.  I have agreed to help GBSI distribute the surveys through this link http://surveys.mckinley-advisors.com/s3/LC to gather valuable information about how researchers view the best practices in each of these areas and what they see as the challenges and barriers to implementing those practices.  GBSI will be analyzing the data and publishing the results later in 2015.  I strongly encourage you to participate or to distribute to your staff for their participation.

At the beginning of the survey (question #3), you will notice that there is a simple way to take one or both surveys. GBSI's pretesting indicates that each survey can be completed in as little as 10 minutes.

Please contact Mark Gibson at GBSI, mgibson <@t> gbsi.org<mailto:mgibson <@t> gbsi.org> if you have specific questions about the survey instrument.

Best  regards and thanks for your time

Luis
