GluA1-4 Antibody (ValidAb™): Pan-AMPA Antibody for Total AMPAR Detection
★ Introduction ★ Applications ★ Highlights ★ Try AntiGluA1–4 (Pan-AMPAR) Antibody ★
A new validated pan-AMPAR antibody for GluA1–4 detection. Exclusively from Hello Bio
Advance your AMPAR research with the GluA1–4 Antibody (ValidAb™) – a rigorously validated rabbit polyclonal antibody that recognises all four AMPA receptor subunits (GluA1–4). It’s a valuable addition to your glutamate receptor toolkit and part of our trusted ValidAb™ range – known for reproducibility and transparent performance.
Why this antibody stands out:
✔ Rabbit origin offers real performance advantages
This is the only anti-pan-AMPA antibody available from a rabbit host — giving you higher affinity, greater sensitivity, and lower background in rodent samples. It's ideal for detecting low-abundance AMPARs, co-staining alongside mouse antibodies, and producing clearer, more specific ICC and WB results. Whether you're working with complex tissues or subtle receptor changes, rabbit-derived antibodies offer a smarter alternative for in vitro AMPAR studies.
✔ Validation you can trust
Existing tools lack robust testing or show unexpected localisation. This antibody is different: it's validated for western blot , IHC and ICC, and produces clear dendritic receptor clustering – precisely where AMPARs should localise. No nuclear artefacts. No ambiguous signal. Just confidence in your results.
✔ Part of our ValidAb™ range
All ValidAb™ antibodies meet stringent in-house QC benchmarks to ensure strong, specific signal, low background, and reproducible results — helping you move forward with fewer technical uncertainties.
✔ A new tool for AMPA receptor studies
This antibody expands the limited selection of pan-AMPAR tools available. With stronger validation and trusted specificity, it offers a more reliable choice for researchers studying glutamate receptor signalling.
Ideal for:
✔ Quantifying total AMPA receptor expression
✔ Visualising AMPAR localisation in dendrites
✔ Normalising subunit-specific expression data — e.g. calculating GluA1/GluA1–4 to assess relative expression
✔ In vitro applications including ICC, IHC and western blot
✔ Scientists needing updated, trustworthy AMPAR tools
