12 Howard Cornish Road Marcham United KingdomA new concept for the antibody market: Among the large amounts of available antibodies to any specific protein we will identify the few that most likely meet the customer's requirements based on the information on the manufacturer’s product sheet. If not, we continue until we find one without extra charge. Antibodies need to be accompanied with convincing validation data linked to the current batch/lot. We aim to identify those antibodies for which the epitope or immunizing peptide sequence is known so to rule out potential cross-reactivity to related other proteins, especially when exhaustive validation data are absent. When such products are not available, we will make a clear statement regarding this for the best antibodies we do find. We will not recommend polyclonal antibodies without batch-specific QC data and antibodies raised against large parts or against entire proteins need to be accompanied with exhaustive and batch-specific validation because such characteristics will not always be reproduced in new animals. The antibodies we identify need to be eligible for Aeonian Rating®, that is they must be forever available with proven reproducible performance from batch to batch and in a consistent formulation (with a known purified IgG concentration). Our special skills come to play when assessing the scientific integrity of the QC data presented by the manufacturer. Any claim of fitness for a certain application is being scrutinized by checking and comparing the evidence with those from competing other antibodies. This is a manual exercise, and therefore we do not offer an automated browsing facility. We offer custom work instead. We will engage with the identified manufacturer to discuss their presented QC data of the current batch in comparison to previous batches and to check their stock situation before reporting back to the customer. We therefore aim to serve customers who depend on a sustainable supply of product to last their projects, to support their kits or to support their catalogue. As far as we can see, this service is nowhere else to be found. We are the first. Our Aeonian Rating® is aimed to set a new quality standard, reminiscent to the Michelin stars for restaurants. Scientists and assay developers are going to save a fortune by not having to buy and try tens of different antibodies to the same protein. There is also the risk of buying the same antibody from different sources (Voskuil). Our unique approach will prevent all these trivial problems and allows the customer to take a precious short cut finding the right antibodies straight away. We build our services on decades of experience in the antibody trade and industries and we know all major players and their products. This facilitates us identifying the actual manufacturers of the antibodies with the right characteristics required by the customer. In addition, we have equal length of experience in immunoassays and in their development. This knowledge helps to understand the customer's requirements even before we commence our hunt.
