Custom Goat Antibody Production

The goat is an ideal choice as a host species for antibody production when large amounts of antiserum are desired. Large volumes of goat antibodies are an essential tool for immunodiagnostic kits, Host Cell Protein (HCP) Assays as well as potency assays. We have extensive experience assisting companies in the development of these antibodies for use in a variety of applications. Custom protocol development is available to meet your specific needs. Contact us for more information.
