LEGACY ANTIBODIES

What makes a ‘good’ vendor?

At Legacy Antibodies LLC, years of experience have shown us the beautiful simplicity that happy customers are a recipe for success. We know and cherish the importance of the client-vendor relationship, so everything we do is geared towards maintaining the integrity of this at the highest standard. All questions will be answered quickly and honestly, and we always keep your best interests in mind.

One of the hallmarks of developing the necessary trust required for a mutually beneficial relationship is the ability to LISTEN to your needs and understand what it is you are trying to do. Having the EXPERIENCE to connect your needs with the best approach in terms of chances of success, development time, and cost is another crucial element. Once the plan is finally in place, following a set of rigorous PROTOCOLS to achieve the stated goals is the best way to ensure consistent results.

We can help

Something that should not be overlooked is the ability to offer guidance when there is not a clear path forward. Many vendors are perfectly capable of doing what you ask, but when the requirement is something unusual or difficult they may be at loss for how to proceed. This is where having a talent for CREATIVITY can make or break a project. We try and think through anything that can impact how or when an antibody can bind to your target, as avoiding these pitfalls at the beginning is much better than waiting for them to turn into headaches at some later time. This approach has led to the development of an antigen design process that proactively considers multiple aspects to give the best chances of the desired reactivity at the end. Every project is unique, but considering the core principles below can be critical for success.
