Product news

Innova Biosciences (Innova), a provider of bioconjugation products and services, has announced the launch of the Conjugate Check&Go! Kit, the company’s first lateral flow product specific to antibody labeling.

The aim of the kit is to allow scientists to confirm, in one easy step, whether an antibody has been successfully conjugated before moving on to more extensive testing in their assay application. The Conjugate Check&Go! Kit is compatible with conjugates generated using InnovaCoat® GOLD nanoparticle and Latex conjugation technologies, and Innova’s Lightning-Link® fluorescent dye labeling kits. The product will also work alongside any other conjugation technology that uses colored labels.

Nick Gee, CEO and CSO at Innova Biosciences, commented: “At Innova Biosciences we are proud of our outstanding track record in customer service and support. The new Conjugate Check&Go! Kit was developed in response to customer requests for a rapid test to demonstrate the successful attachment of colored particles, proteins and dyes to antibodies.”

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.Assay AssemblyAssay Assembly is technique used in drug discovery to develop assays to test the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, or other activities of a compound on a cell. Assay assembly requires chip assembly, a delivery system and a detection and analysis method. Beneficial features of assay kits or automated systems include high-throughput, high speed and sensitivity and low signal to noise ratio.Assay DevelopmentThe process of proving an assay to be sensitive with respect to the target is known as assay development. The assay should be able to characterize novel compounds and measure the potency of these compounds against a validated biological target.Antibody conjugation
