Your antibodies are produced with our well established, animal and environmental friendly methods by qualified professionals in our laboratory. Our efficient antibody production is reflected in the price and customer satisfaction. The variety of antigens and requirements of our customers require customized protocols. Our established methods for antibody production include rapid antibody generation within only 28 days (SuperFast), immunizations with a very low amount of antigen (LowDose) and custom protocols.
