Spent my Saturday in the lab today staining cells. Here’s a quick time lapse of 1 hour of work. If only incubation times were this quick in real life 🥲 #phdchat

Bottom-line-up-front: stain overnight. Antibody staining is sensitive to both dilution and time, so a titration that gives crummy staining in 30' can actually give beautiful staining overnight. The best part is, that lower dilution gives less background, for better separation 2/6
