Find the Antibody You Need by Full Text Search

Its like PubMed on steroids. This search engine will search the full text of all major scientific journals. Just enter the name of your protein and the word “Western blot” or what ever you need to find.For example – p53 and “western blot”.

Yep its this little form right below this line.

The search engine is that blank space right above this line in case you missed me.

Start Here – Finding the Right Primary Antibody

This search engine searches full text of scientific articles in thousands of journals including pdfs. That means it will search in the methods, figure legends, and the text of all scientific articles. Amazing, I know.

So to find a primary antibody for a specific protein for example, you can really refine your search by stringing together a lot of terms based on your experiment.

Lets say you are looking for a p53 primary antibody, for ELISA, in mouse macrophages

You might enter this string p53 antibody elisa mouse macrophages.

This will return something like this

For this particular search, I found about 90 scientific articles.  For not so popular antibodies it works even better.

The engine can also work with all of Google’s Search refinements. Like and, or, for example or you can exclude terms by putting a minus sign (-) in front of a word. For example -Abcam, if you knew that antibody didn’t work for your experiment
