### Check antibody specificity correctly

Not every antibody automatically provides specific results. Careful validation helps to reduce background signals and misinterpretations.

Important approaches:

- **Knockout/knockdown controls**  
  check whether the signal is really target-specific
- **Orthogonal methods**  
  Comparison with independent detection methods such as PCR or mass spectrometry
- **Application validation**  
  An antibody for Western blot does not automatically work for IF or IHC

### The right validation strategy improves reproducibility and data quality.
