Abcam has announced that following the completion of the acquisition of Epitomics, customers in Europe are now able to purchase Epitomics' line of high quality RabMAbs® (Rabbit Monoclonal Antibodies) directly from its website.

RabMAbs® provide the combined benefits of superior antigen recognition of the rabbit immune system with the specificity and consistency of a monoclonal antibody, bringing you the highest quality antibody possible.

This move will enhance the service and support for the company’s European customers who will now be able to receive Epitomics research products in a much shorter time frame than previously possible. Most European countries will now receive Epitomics research products via Abcam's next day delivery service. Abcam’s multi-lingual technical support teams will also be available to answer questions regarding Epitomics products.

Epitomics products can be found directly on Abcam’s website or on Epitomics' website. Customers in Europe wishing to place orders for Epitomics research products will be able to purchase directly with Abcam.

The acquisition of Epitomics, Inc. now known as Epitomics - an Abcam Company, extends Abcam’s product portfolio, including RabMAbs® research antibodies, EP Clone antibodies for Immunohistochemistry (In Vitro Diagnostics Range) and Custom Antibody Development Services, in line with Abcam’s vision of becoming the world’s leading supplier of life science research tools.

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.Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.ImmunologyImmunological techniques measure and characterize immune responses. Immunology kits and analysis systems often use techniques such as ELISA, radioimmunoassay (RIA) and immunodiffusion assays, Immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry. Immunologists use equipment such as flow Cytometers, plate readers, plate washers and fluorescent microscopes.Cellular PathologyCellular Pathology deals with the microscopic analysis of tissue samples and cells. Sample preparation and processing includes fixation, staining, sectioning and slide mounting, using equipment such microtomes and cryostats. In choosing immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry kits, consider chromogens, staining method, antibodies, microscopes and imaging.Monoclonal AntibodiesMonoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are lab-made molecules that can bind to specific antigens on cells, making them highly effective in treating cancers, autoimmune diseases, and infections. These targeted therapies are transforming the treatment landscape for many conditions. Browse our peer-reviewed product directory to find monoclonal antibodies for research and clinical applications; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.
