United Bioresearch appointed Australian distributor for Abiocode

United Bioresearch has announced its appointment as the Australian distributor for Californian-based Abiocode.

Abiocode was founded in late 2008 by scientists who understand the importance of high-quality reagents to biomedical research. The long-term goal of the company is to apply innovative techniques and approaches to design and produce reagents and assay systems that are of high quality and cost effective for the biomedical research community.

Abiocode is currently focused on high-throughput antibody production. Their goal is to produce at least two distinct antibodies that can specifically recognise two different regions of a protein whenever possible. Abiocode believes that the availability of such antibody pairs will be important for proteomics research and for validation studies.

Abiocode is also in the process of developing antibody arrays and ELISA kits for disease diagnosis and basic research. In addition, it is committed to explore and develop novel techniques that will improve the overall quality and efficiency of scientific research.
