What Elabscience does

Elabscience (legally Bionovation Inc.) is a privately-held life science reagent manufacturer founded in 2009 and headquartered in Wuhan, China, with US-based customer support operations. The company supplies researchers globally with a catalog spanning flow cytometry antibodies, ELISA kits (Traditional, QuicKey Pro, Mini Sample, High Sensitivity, Uncoated, CellaQuant), multiplex (ECOPLEX) and CLIA immunoassays, cell health and metabolism assay kits (TUNEL, Annexin V, Ferroptosis, Cuproptosis, oxidative stress), cell isolation and identification products, recombinant proteins, peptides, and cell culture media. Underlying the catalog are 5 dedicated technology platforms producing GMP-grade products under ISO 9001 quality systems.

The company's revenue model is a hybrid of catalog reagent sales (one-time purchase of consumables) and fee-for-service custom work (polyclonal/monoclonal antibody development, phage display, recombinant antibody and protein expression, labeling, peptide synthesis, flow cytometry data analysis, and panel design). Distribution is direct-to-customer through an e-commerce storefront with global shipping, supplemented by a toll-free US sales line, WhatsApp contact, and an international distributor network. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Elabscience serves a horizontal customer base that includes academic and institutional life science researchers, pharmaceutical and biotechnology drug-discovery groups, and diagnostic kit manufacturers. The company claims 33,156+ scientific citations referencing its products, 14+ years of immunodiagnostic technology development, and recognition from CiteAb as both an Antibody Supplier to Watch (2021) and an ELISA Kit Supplier to Watch (2019). It markets through YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, webinars, technical resources, and email, positioning itself as a full-stack reagents-and-services partner for bench scientists.
