How much of Thermo Fisher's antibody data has been manipulated?

7 hours ago

Over 450 manipulated images identified in Thermo Fisher Scientific's antibody verification data as of June 3, 2026.
These images, labeled as 'Advanced Verification,' show signs of fabrication, including duplicated bands and copy-pasted background patterns.
Antibody verification data is crucial for ensuring specificity and selectivity, but unreliable data can lead to costly experiments and irreproducibility in research.
A public repository on Zenodo has been created to document these problematic images, aiming to raise awareness and encourage reporting of similar issues.
