MBS Launches New Logo and Website
 
A new look and improved website for MBS

MBS has launched a new website with improved features and functionality. You can now access our full product catalog with product information sheets from the site. Additionally, you can still access critical information on our protocols for custom services and access the forms necessary to start your project. We feel that the new website and our new logo better represent the quality services and products offered by MBS.


MBS Introduces Custom Purification Protocol
 
New and Improved Antibody Purification Methods

In response to customer demand for highly pure antibody preps to facilitate diagnostic applications, MBS has developed a custom purification protocol. The custom antibody protein A purification protocol utilizes pH gradient elution. Antibody is bound to Protein A resin and eluted by pH gradient to minimize exposure to harsh conditions. The receptor vessel for eluted antibody is prepared with neutralization reagent for quick return to the physiological pH. The result is less aggregation and fragementation that would confound conjugation and impact your signal to noise ratios. MBS has consistently acheived 95% or better purifty as determined by SEC. We have also worked to optimize our protocol to maximize flow rates so that process time for your antibody is reduced.



MBS will be exhibiting at BIO2007 in Boston from May 6-9 at Booth #2835. Please stop in.

Sincerely,
