About Our Antibody Development Workflows
Host Species
R&D Systems offers custom antibody development in many host species. The most common species include mouse, rat, rabbit, goat, sheep, chicken, and llama (camelid). Select your host species upon the goals of your project or ask us to recommend a host for antibody production based upon your target and your application.
Tailored Protocols
We will target custom antibodies with high specificity and outstanding performance for your desired application by coupling a bespoke immunization and screening protocol with one of our immunogen options; full length, biologically active proteins, transfected cells, or target specific peptides.
Quality Oversight
R&D Systems' custom projects are governed under our existing quality management system. Each antibody is developed to your specifications then manufactured under controlled conditions, undergoing rigorous quality control testing to ensure lot-to-lot consistency and outstanding performance in all validated applications.
Common Applications
ELISA Matched Antibody Pairs
Our optimized protocols and extensive antibody screening capabilities, combined with the powerful expertise behind our gold-standard Quantikine ELISA kits, offers you the best chance at finding the ideal pair for your platform. We will use existing screening techniques to quickly find a pair that will work for you.
Neutralization
Our extensive collection of bioactive proteins and broad portfolio of existing bioassay SOPs allow us to quickly modify our methods for early screening and identification of neutralizing or blocking custom antibodies. This allows us to provide the best and most dependable blocking/neutralizing antibodies for your project.
IHC or ICC
Utilize our proficiency in generating best in class IHC/ICC antibodies; we have produced >4,000! If your goal is to obtain highly specific custom antibodies for IHC or ICC, depend upon us to tailor our immunization and screening protocols to quickly identify clones ideal for your sample.
Flow Cytometry
Deploy our rigorous custom antibody protocols, which include early screening, to get your custom flow cytometry antibody quicker! We provide unconjugated or conjugated antibodies that fit into your cell selection and detection workflow with many fluorophores immediately available for custom antibody conjugation
