Free tools for finding validated antibodies, planning proportionate validation, documenting your results, and learning best practice — built on consensus recommendations from 32 international experts.
Search curated, independent characterisation data with knockout controls across Western blot, IP, IF, and flow cytometry. The starting point for any antibody selection.
Search the database →The principles behind proportionate validation — what your scientific question demands, how to select controls, and how to document your reasoning. The guide that underpins the tools below.
Read the framework →List your antibodies, categorise them by what your question demands, and build detailed validation plans with controls matched to your experiment. Generates a downloadable PDF plan.
Open the planner →Create a structured transparency record of antibody use for manuscript submission. Captures identity, validation evidence, and images in a format reviewers can check.
Open the recorder →Free e-learning modules covering antibody validation principles, how to search for existing evidence, and how to plan proportionate controls for your experiments.
Start learning →A community of researchers trained to support good antibody practice in their institutions, run in partnership with the NC3Rs. Get peer support and help drive change locally.
Meet the Champions →Evidence and practical guidance for publishers, funders, institutions, and manufacturers looking to implement the Delphi consensus recommendations. More detailed stakeholder guides coming soon.
View evidence & guidance →All tools are free, open, and client-side — your data stays in your browser and nothing is stored on our servers. Built on recommendations from a multi-stakeholder Delphi consensus study.
