How much of Thermo Fisher's antibody data has been manipulated?
Researchers have identified over 450 manipulated images in Thermo Fisher Scientific's online antibody verification catalog, with evidence including duplicated bands, Photoshop brushstrokes, copy-pasted background noise, and dozens of antibodies sharing identical fabricated background patterns. The discovery began when examining Western blot data supposedly demonstrating antibody functionality, revealing systematic data falsification that undermines the reliability of verification claims for these widely-used laboratory reagents. This raises serious concerns about the trustworthiness of antibody products sold by the major scientific supplier.
