What Antibodies does

Antibodies Incorporated is a privately held life science research reagent manufacturer founded in 1962 in Davis, California, producing and selling validated antibodies, assay kits, ELISA reagents, IHC products, dyes, and related research tools. The company operates through five wholly-owned specialized brands — NeuroMab (primary monoclonal antibodies for neuroscience), Aves Labs (chicken polyclonal and recombinant chimeric antibodies), PhosphoSolutions (phosphospecific and total protein antibodies), ImmunoChemistry Technologies (cell viability assays and ELISA reagents), and Biosensis (ELISA kits for neuroscience and neurodegenerative disease research) — each targeting a distinct niche within the research reagent market. Core technology spans monoclonal, polyclonal, recombinant, and phosphospecific antibody development, with a proprietary serum pooling process at PhosphoSolutions that eliminates lot-to-lot variability in polyclonal antibodies, a long-standing pain point in the reagent industry.

The company manufactures and validates all products in-house under a documented Quality Management System and offers custom antibody development, contract manufacturing, custom peptide synthesis, ELISA/immunoassay services, and adenovirus production. Revenue is generated through one-time catalog sales of research reagents at standard pricing with bulk and standing-order discounts, supplemented by quote-based custom service revenue. Distribution occurs through a worldwide approved distributor network and a direct e-commerce storefront at antibodiesinc.com. The customer base is horizontally segmented between academic and government research institutions (primary) and pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies (secondary), with applications spanning neuroscience, cell biology, cancer research, and drug discovery. The company is bootstrapped, has never raised external capital, and operates with 11-50 employees after more than 60 years of continuous operation.
