Products
Dried protein stabilizers and blockers
Reagents for one-step blocking and stabilization of dried antigens/antibodies on multiple surfaces (plates, membranes, beads, magnetic particles) to reduce non-specific binding and extend shelf life.
In-solution conjugate stabilizers
Stabilizers formulated to preserve enzyme–antibody/antigen conjugates and control materials at working strength for ELISA, ELISpot, RIA, immunoblots and microarrays, including protein-free/BSA-free options.
ELISA coating buffers, wash solutions and diluents
Buffered coating solutions, wash buffers and sample/assay diluents designed to optimize antigen/antibody binding and reduce matrix interferences.
Colorimetric and chemiluminescent detection substrates and stop solutions
A range of substrates for HRP and AP detection (colorimetric and chemiluminescent), plus matching stop solutions in liquid and dry-blend formats for endpoint stabilization.
Microarray slides and activated surfaces
Activated slides and surface chemistries for DNA and protein microarrays to enable immobilization and consistent assay performance.
Antigens and antibodies (regional distribution)
Supply and distribution of recombinant and native antigens and antibodies through partner channels to support autoimmune, infectious disease and allergen assay development.
