We frequently receive very positive feedback on the speed and quality of
our Custom Antibody Services. The following is one example:
“ I've been trying to get the word out about your company within
[our institution]. They still cannot believe that we get the Abs so
quickly and at such a high titer.”

| Protein Polyclonal Antibody in 4 Weeks |
With Washington Biotechnology's ultra-fast 4-week proprietary protocol, your first lot of high titer antibody can be delivered to your lab just five weeks after immunization of two NZW Specific Pathogen-free (SPF) rabbits. We require 2-3 mg antigen for immunization and ELISA.
You receive:
120-140 ml antisera
60 - 70 ml shipped Week 5
60 - 70 ml shipped Week 7
1-2 ml preimmune serum from each animal
Antibody titers by ELISA on all collected sera
Optional Affinity Purification - You may choose Affinity Purification as an option. We will send you a 6 - 10 ml sample of the First Production Bleed. If after your testing you decide to proceed, the additional charge is $ 300.00 for affinity purification of 120 - 140 ml of antisera.
In addition to our standardized immunization protocol , customized protocols can also be developed, tailored to your research needs.
