Your Antibody, Our Expertise
Generation of new custom antibodies can be a long, frustrating, and potentially expensive process. The probability of success depends on multiple factors including intended use, biological knowledge of the target’s structure and function, appropriate immunogen design, animal model and clonality chosen, immunization strategy, optimized screening methods, efficient purification, and reliable QC.
Leverage the experience and expertise of our custom antibody development scientists for your project. Our consultative, stage-gated approach mitigates risk, saves time and increases the probability of your project successfully moving forward.

Testimonials
Conversion of our traditional monoclonal to recombinant antibody offered immortal supply of a very high quality product. We also liked the feature of the recombinant technology to be able to exchange the constant chain between different species and the ability to express the antibody as Fab fragments.
