We make the Complex Convenient when it comes to Buying Research Reagents.
Research Reagents are a key tool in e.g. drug discovery research due to their high specificity and affinity. Antibodies for example have been engineered for use in a broad range of assays that quantitate, localize or modulate the activity of drug targets. With millions of reagents now available, it has become difficult for researchers to find and buy the right product for their research project. We are offering the best products out there against more than 90,000 targets, from >2000 species, for >300 applications. We are the true single source when working on the protein level and we continue to build an exclusive and unique line of products at the cutting edge of science.
