4. HOW IT CAN IMPACT YOUR COMPANY?
Can’t you find the antibody? Ask the help center!
Poor antibody identification can lead to increased support calls
and emails from future customers.
No validation for your company!
Your company cannot use this paper to validate your
antibodies because it does not lead to a specific product.
Less trust
Antibodies that cannot be verified can make an entire study
untrustworthy
Compliance
Top journals require RRIDs from authors for publication
5. HOW DOES IT IMPACT SCIENCE?
“More than 70% of researchers have
tried and failed to reproduce
another scientist's experiments.”
This figure is part of Nature's survey
of 1,576 researchers who took a brief
online questionnaire on
reproducibility in research.

1,500 scientists lift the lid on reproducibility. Nature 533, 452–454 (2016)
7. RRID TO THE RESCUE
Links to reagents are added by journals
2 clicks to your website!
Easy for customers to find the antibody they
need.
Build trust with your future customers!
8. HELPING SCIENCE
All NIH grants (2017+) require “Reagent authentication” for antibodies and other
key biological resources.
Help NIH funded researchers to authenticate your products by ensuring that
each antibody has an RRID.
9. HOW DOES AN AUTHOR FIND AN RRID?
Author copies
“Proper
citation” text
into
manuscript
Author
searches for an
antibody on the
RRID Portal
Journals direct
author to the
RRID search
portal
Paper is
published with
RRIDs in it!
11. SCIENCE REQUIRES RRIDS
Editor-in-Chief of Science asks all authors to
fill in & include the
MDAR Reproducibility Checklist which
includes providing RRIDs
