Innova Bioscience: Lightning-Link™ Conjugations
21 Apr 2009
Watch the 30 second, hands on demonstration of the Lightning-Link™ conjugation kit. Lightning-Link™ is a very sophisticated conjugation system in which the antibody is directionally coupled to the label (and not to itself) in a controlled manner, creating high quality stable conjugates.
About the company
Innova Biosciences Ltd.
Innova Biosciences Ltd's core business is bioconjugation: the joining of two molecules to form hybrid conjugates
Conjugates are used in hospital and research labs around the world; they also feature in consumer items such as pregnancy test kits (the conjugate is responsible for the blue line). Innova's one-step conjugation method (Lightning-Link) massively simplifies the production of conjugates that are needed for research and immunodiagnostic applications. Innova also offers exclusive services for optimizing the performance of conjugates and developing more sensitive immunodiagnostic tests. Innova also sells several niche products to pharmaceutical research and development labs.
Innova aims to deliver ground-breaking technologies and services that will greatly accelerate and simplify biological research and development. This will allow Innova to become a world leader in the supply of products and services to the academic, pharmaceutical and diagnostics sectors.
Innova's research laboratories opened in October 2002 at the Babraham Bioincubator facility, close to the historic University City of Cambridge, UK. The company was awarded a research grant In 2003 to develop a number of novel research products primarily for applications in the pharmaceutical sector. In 2006, in response to frustration with traditional conjugation technologies, particularly difficulties in working with small amounts of material and in scaling up, Innova developed and launched its revolutionary Lightning-Link conjugation system. This dramatically changed the direction of the company's development and today bioconjugation is our core business. Innova sells innovative conjugation products are services throughout the Life Science sector, especially into flow cytometry and diagnostics laboratories.

Innova Biosciences Ltd.Say goodbye to secondary antibodies – Go direct using the World’s Easiest DIY Antibody Labeling Kit - Lightning-Link™! • Eliminates need for secondary antibodies • Reduces the number of wash steps • Ideal for multi-protein analysis – with over 40 available labels • Very easy to use • 100% antibody recovery Lightning-Link™ kits The DIY Lightning-Link™ kit allows you to label an antibody with minimal hands-on time - less than 30 seconds. Simply add your antibody solution to a tube of Lightning-Link™ mix and the label becomes covalently attached to your antibody in a gentle controlled process and get high quality antibody conjugation. Lightning-Link is the easiest and quickest method available for antibody conjugation.Go ‘direct’ Direct antibodies labelling greatly simplifies immunodetection techniques. Without the problems of crossover and/or non-specific binding from secondary reagents it is far easier to obtain high quality, pioneering results in techniques such as flow cytometry, ELISA, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. A reduction in the number of incubation and wash steps also saves you time and money. The HRP antibody conjugate: Horseradish peroxidase (hrp) conjugate is frequently the antibody label of choice for ELISA, immunoblotting and immunocytochemistry, due to its small size (40kDa) and high turnover rate, producing a measurable result over a short time period.
