Choosing the right antibody for your research can be the difference between a successful experiment and thousands of euros in materials going to waste. Not only is the key to be spot on with respect to the reactivity, the antigen and a wide array of technical variables but, in many cases choosing among the antibody brands is a decisive factor on its own.  

The antibodies market is filled with brands and laboratories that promise excellent results. However, when comparing results and processes, the experts agree that not all antibodies are created equal.

At Abyntek we have been more than 15 years navigating the reagent market and advising thousands of scientists on the topic. In this post, we have put together an exhaustive list of the best antibody providers, listing their specialities and their quality guarantees.

With more than 25 years of experience on the market and more than 19,000 quotations in top scientific journals, it is hard to think about an antibody brand with more of a quality guarantee than Bio X Cell.
