​Our challenge

Antibodies are the beating heart of biotech. Whether as a therapeutic, or as a tool of detection, they are fundamental.
​
The search for antibodies with the necessary sensitivity, specificity and consistency for this range of applications is a constant challenge.


​Meeting the challenge
​We harness data-driven insights to identify, develop and provide the newest and best biological binders available globally. Find out more about recombinant antibodies.
 
We embed quality and validation into all our processes to support the drive for accurate and reproducible scientific research. Find out more about how we validate our antibodies.

​We question the status quo, empowering life scientists to break through barriers to progress. Find out more about our knockout-validation initiative.

​We continuously seek out customer feedback and R&D collaborations to anticipate problems before they come up and solve them. Find out more about recent collaborations.

​We build on technical and scientific advancements to enhance how we develop, produce and deliver our products, so that you can go further, faster. Find out more about how we are developing products remove barriers in Parkinson's disease research.
