The business end of polyclonal antibody research – How to get the best results

The business side of research is often neglected as being a critical part of the realities of modern science. Anybody involved in antibody research will tell you that the potential working complexities of this research can throw a few curveballs at any project. The combination of theory, practice, data, and budgets requires astute management.

One of the major issues in polyclonal antibody research relates to the development of custom antibodies. This is often a critical part of research, frequently including pure research components and a considerable amount of experimentation. A new form of best practice is emerging in this field as a result of this sometimes huge “event horizon” of information generated by research.

The new best practice is basically to outsource lab services for core functions including the entire development process from antibody selection to finished product. From the purely business perspective, this approach has a lot going for it. Outsourcing allows the researchers to focus on their research, without doing the considerable “handling” issues of antibody development in-house.

By way of example – There’s a company called Capralogics which provides a full range of lab services of this kind for major research projects throughout the United States. They have the capacity to provide their clients with a full spectrum of services from the initial antibody selection stage through testing and product development to the final stage of completion. They are also producers of polyclonal antibodies, including industry standard products like sheep anti-ZDNA, other sheep antibodies, andrelated products like rabbit anti-llama Alkaline Phosphatase.

In effect, this company produces all the core products required for antibody research as well as the important technical support required for high standard research. They also provide the very high value lab services and related physical processes required to support advanced research. 

For more information, and to see for yourself how this range of services benefits research projects around the US, see their website here at www.capralogics.com. If you’d like to engage the services, or discuss your operational needs, you can contact them directly online or by phone.
