Custom IVD Antibody Production Services – FAQ

Q1: What are custom IVD antibodies and why are they important?

Custom IVD antibodies are specifically developed antibodies used in in vitro diagnostic assays to detect disease biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity. They are essential components in diagnostic platforms such as ELISA, CLIA, and lateral flow assays.

Q2: What types of antibodies can be produced for IVD applications?

Custom IVD antibody production supports a wide range of formats, including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), polyclonal antibodies (pAbs), recombinant antibodies, as well as engineered formats such as scFv, Fab, bispecific antibodies, and single-domain antibodies.

Q3: Which expression systems are used for IVD antibody production?

Multiple expression platforms are available depending on project needs, including bacterial (e.g., E. coli), yeast, mammalian cells (e.g., CHO, HEK293), insect cells, plant systems, and cell-free expression systems, each offering distinct advantages in yield, cost, and post-translational modifications.
