    Antibodies
    SentencesResources
    Cells were incubated with an anti-SARS-CoV spike primary antibody directly conjugated with alexaflour-647 (CR3022-AF647) for up to 4 hours at room temperature.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
