About This Item

 

I am a monoclonal antibody shipping container. My owner recieves many of these at work in a cell biology lab. The container carries four very small tubes of antibodies usually about 500 microliters or less.

Monoclonal antibodies are a vital tool to modern biotechnology and research. The four antibodies in this container had a retail value of almost $1000! They allow researches to identify, locate, and quantify a specific protein in complex mixtures.
