The business end of selecting custom antibody production services

Any immunology professional, business person, researcher, or high-end academic biologist will tell you that when it comes to selecting a service provider for custom antibody production you need to do your homework. The business professionals in this field will tell you exactly the same thing. In both cases, they’re talking about business and operational efficiencies and supplier compatibility with your needs.

Custom antibody production is a very competitive commercial field. There are many service providers, and many types of services available. If a couple of alarm bells went off reading that sentence, and you’re thinking that you want the services provider to be in sync with your needs, not theirs, your business instincts are in A1 working order. That, in fact, is the basic criteria for selecting custom antibody production services.

This is hardly a case of “get three quotes and go back to sleep”. Sourcing services is a critical business process. You need to see a complete range of services which will deliver for your objectives. Custom antibody design and production can be quite demanding, based on both degrees of difficulty, costs, and allocation of resources.

For example, a research project may want a combination of custom antibody production, lab services, raw materials sourcing for essentials like rabbit anti-llama FITC, sheep antibodies, and chicken antibodies and more. (Many researchers no longer do the lab work in-house; this work is outsourced, simply because it’s more cost-efficient. Other operational functions may also be outsourced.)

If you’re getting the impression that the best practice source offers a very flexible range of services which can be tailored to just about any type of custom antibody production project, you’re quite right. A good example of this full-spectrum range of services is a company called Capralogics Inc., one of America’s leading suppliers of custom antibody products and custom antibody production services.

They’re true full service providers, with an excellent reputation in the immunological, pharmaceutical and diagnostic sectors. We are using them as an example because they are commercial and scientific market leaders, and they really do cover all bases.

Looking for a one-stop shop for antibody products?

If you’re working with antibodies, you will be well aware of the need for setting up a reliable supply chain. You’ll also be aware that demands from clients can vary considerably, and you really do need a top-of-the-line supplier for the more advanced products.

There is another, less obvious but all too familiar issue in sourcing antibodies – Custom antibodies and their various requirements. Antibody research is proceeding at a truly frantic pace around the world. Custom antibodies, as the coalface of antibody research and product development, are must-have resources.

That puts many researchers and product developers into a particularly irritating position – They need access to customization capabilities, as well as high quality suppliers. Researchers, in particular, are continually faced with the need for advanced antibody products. These products are not generally available in the mainstream market. Some of them are so new that they’re barely known outside research circles.

The solution, interestingly enough, is a sort of hybrid approach, whereby suppliers can also deliver custom antibody products in conjunction with research needs. If that sounds particularly effective, it is.

There’s a company called Capralogics, a leading US supplier of antibody products, which provides antibody customization services and labs services as well. Not exactly hard to join the dots, is it?

As a supplier, they provide all the standard products like rabbit anti-llama biotin, sheep anti –EGFR, sheep anti-ZDNA and more. As a service provider, they have become the go-to place for US researchers for a truly spectacular range of useful services. They actually are a one stop shop for antibody research in so many ways.
From the purely bottom line perspective, they are also an instant solution for a range of ongoing needs which must be addressed quickly and efficiently. This company can deliver high quality products, top-quality lab services, and the sort of expertise in antibody customization which pays for itself.
