Ideally, we would like to receive 0.5 ml antibody for testing. However, in some cases it poses a major obstacle for the investigator to sacrifice that much antibody for testing. In these cases, we recommend that you submit at least the amount of antibody that will be injected into a single animal. While this amount may be less than ideal, the good news is that our IMPACT assays are very sensitive, most have sensitivities that allow detection of 1-100 virions. Thus, even with limited volume of sample we should be able to detect any contaminating infectious agents.
