Ever thought of ordering an antibody test panel instead of gambling on a single reference? 🧪 🧪🧪🧪
At ABCD Antibodies, we often hear the same frustration from colleagues and collaborators:
🗣️ “We ordered an antibody from a supplier, it was supposed to be validated but it did not work for us” or “It worked for WB but not IF”
The harsh reality is that when you try a new antibody, the probability that it will perform well in your specific assay is on average below 50%. And even if it works in one application, there’s no guarantee it will work in another.
Antigen abundance, accessibility of your epitope, protocol conditions, species reactivity - there are too many variables you can’t predict from a datasheet or worse, a simple cropped image of a gel or immunostaining from a supplier’s website.
So why bet everything on one antibody?
We have a smarter strategy: Custom Antibody Panels
With access to the ABCDDatabase (32 000+ antibody sequences), we can design and produce panels of recombinant monoclonal antibodies against your target, all produced with the same Fc backbone of your choice.
For research groups and R&D teams, this means:
✅ Increased chances of finding a good antibody for your specific project
✅ Direct comparability between antibodies to see which one is the best
✅ Less time lost on optimization/reagent sourcing
Worried about the cost?
With our small-batch production setup, producing a full panel remains accessible and is economically rational — especially compared to losing months of separately buying and testing antibodies and wasting biological samples.
When the success rate of a single off-the-shelf antibody is uncertain, the most rational approach is to test and compare several from day one.
