This was largely due to poor information and out-of-date catalogs from the vast range of suppliers who were spread across many countries. In some cases, I W also experienced difficulties with companies whose products were unreliable and whose customer elcome to service was slow and unhelpful. My vision was to build a company that offered reliable cutting-edge products and great customer service.” It was a tough vision - Abcam was created to sell the best antibodies in the world with the most comprehensive, honest and up-to-date datasheets, fast delivery, helpful customer service and comprehensive technical support. Abcam Seven years on and with thousands of products across our range, Abcam ships to scientists in over 55 countries around the world. Abcam is committed to the following fundamental principles that have seen us become the first choice for thousands of life-scientists throughout industry and academia: • Quality of products and datasheets • Helpful technical support and online technical resources • Friendly customer service • Fast delivery Comprehensive We have a policy of honesty - our customers know everything that we know about our products, as soon as we know it. Everything we know about each product is posted on the datasheet. To achieve exceptional levels of quality for our customers we provide: • Comprehensive datasheets. • Customers’ AbreviewsSM of our products . • Product-specific protocols used by our customers. • Customers’ technical questions and our answers for each product. • Product information and new products updated daily. ...all at www.abcam.com!

SM Abreviews Our unique system for enabling our customers to feedback to you and us about the performance of our primary antibodies. It is important to know how our antibodies perform under different conditions and that they are working as expected. We encourage this feedback (positive and negative) by awarding AbpointsSM for each Abreview: AbreviewTM Action Points Description Submit an Abreview 50 Each unique combination of antibody, application and sample species that you review, earns you Abcam AbpointsSM, e.g. if you use one of our antibodies in WB on Human and Mouse samples and submit an Abreview for both these combinations, then you will receive 50 Points for each one. Submit an Abreview 200 As for “Submit an Abreview” but for an antibody that has not yet been tested in (untested application / that particular species or application. species) Submit an image with your 100 If you submit an image to accompany any of your Abreviews, then you will Abreview receive extra Points when it is published with your Abreview. For Abreview and image publication criteria, please see the Abreviews section of our website. st Fast Track Abreviews 950 Be the 1 researcher to submit conclusive positive or negative data (through bonus
