Product news

Innova Biosciences (Innova), a specialist provider of bioconjugation products and services, has announced the launch of a range of conjugated antibodies. The unique range utilizes Innova’s Lightning-Link® and InnovaCoat® bioconjugation technologies, to provide customers with antibodies conjugated to an extensive range of enzymes, fluorescent dyes and colloidal gold, for improved flexibility in experimental design.

The new range comprises 200 antibodies to nearly 30 different cardiac biomarkers, each available directly conjugated to 24 different enzymes, fluorescent dyes or nanoparticles. Innova intends to expand the range into other key research areas in the near future, catering to an increasingly wide scientific audience.

In conjunction with the new range, Innova has launched a new corporate website, to provide customers with easier online ordering facilities, as well as access to a range of resources and support materials. The website also features an Antibody Conjugate Generator tool, which enables customers ordering from the new conjugated antibodies range to select any desired cardiac marker, antibody clone and label.

The online Conjugate Generator provides Innova’s customers with unprecedented flexibility, speed and conjugation possibilities, enabling highly tailored reagents to be created at a fraction of the cost of a custom conjugation project.

Dr Nick Gee, CEO at Innova, said: "This new range represents a progression for Innova from our range of bioconjugation kits. For the first time we are offering antibodies, capitalising on our conjugation technologies to create a powerful new tool for researchers.”

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :EnzymesEnzymes are macromolecular biological catalysts used across life science, pharmaceutical and clinical research. Various enzymes can be purchased for research applications including ligases, high fidelity polymerases, nuclease, protease, restriction enzymes, tissue dissociation enzymes and enzyme inhibitors.

Ensuring high-quality monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are produced is key. Explore antibody production tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.CardiologyBiomarker DiscoveryClinical biomarkers refer to substances related to known medical conditions that can be accurately measured <i>in vitro</i>. Biomarkers can be used to diagnose presence of a disease and indicate disease severity. The discovery of new biomarkers is incredibly valuable in the field of diagnostics.NanoparticlesNanoparticles are between 1-100nm in size. Nanoparticles can be used for a wide variety of applications including biomedical, catalysis and electronics.FluorescenceThe emission of fluorescence occurs when a photon of energy is supplied to a fluorescent chemical compound by an external source, causing it to become excited. Fluorescence can be detected and measured for different purposes using microplate readers, fluorescence microscopes, fluorescence scanners, and flow cytometers.
