“Specifically regarding the products I use from R&D Systems: they are the best. Often, when you buy antibodies, enzymes, or other biologic reagents there's a big mystery if it's going to work or not. I have never had any issues with the quality or efficacy of any of the products I have used from R&D Systems.”
