AbD Serotec to sell DyLight-based fluorescent reagents
AbD Serotec and Thermo Fisher Scientific have signed a deal to prepare a series of fluorescent reagents using Thermo Scientific DyLight dyes and AbD Serotec research antibodies.
AbD Serotec and Thermo Fisher Scientific have signed a deal to prepare a series of fluorescent reagents using Thermo Scientific DyLight dyes and AbD Serotec research antibodies.
The resulting products will be available to the life science sector through the AbD Serotec sales catalogue. The financial details were not disclosed.
DyLight fluorescent dyes form part of Thermo Scientific's protein research product line. They are water-soluble and provide high fluorescence intensity in many applications, while maintaining photostability across a broad range of pH values.
AbD Serotec, a division of MorphoSys of Munich, Germany, has a catalogue of more than 10,000 research antibodies and immunology reagents guaranteed to perform to specification.
"Fluorescent antibodies are particularly suited for detection of specific antigens in tissues or on cells and have become an indispensable tool for scientists worldwide," said Dr Achim Knappik senior director of r&d at AbD Serotec.
"Combining the vast range of research antibodies offered by AbD Serotec with Pierce Biotechnology's fluorescence technology enables AbD Serotec to further expand its wide range of fluorescent reagents, and will thus further enhance our offering in this segment," he added.
