Custom Antibody Services
Custom Antibody Development
Utilize our services to generate custom antibodies from a wide range of host species. Whether you need monoclonal or polyclonal, anti-idiotypic, or cell line specific antibodies, we will work with you from immunogen design through purification and QC to ensure the custom antibody meets your specifications.
Custom Conjugation Services
Our antibody development scientists can apply their conjugation experience to produce your custom conjugated antibody. With over 19 different enzymatic and fluorescent labels, we can create antibodies tailored for your experiments. Even large quantities of antibodies can be conjugated in a fast turnaround time.
Custom Monoclonal Antibody Panels
Our extensive antibodies catalog contains more than 15,000 hybridoma cell line clones, many of which are not available in our retail catalog. Screen this catalog to quickly find the ideal clone or antibody pair for your desired application. These antibodies are produced in-house so we can meet your long-term supply needs.
Custom Recombinant Antibody Services
Our hybridoma and B cell to recombinant antibody conversion services can produce a consistent supply, in gram quantities, of a custom engineered monoclonal antibody. Utilize this service to develop scFvs, bi-specifics, or full-length antibodies with a defined, nonglycosylated Fc region.
Custom GMP Antibodies
Convert an existing, research grade antibody to GMP, or develop a new antibody from scratch. We start with conversion of the hybridoma-derived clone to an immortal recombinant antibody, ensuring a consistent supply.
Custom LlaMABodies™
Utilize our services to generate a camelid antibody for your difficult to reach target. We can provide single domain and bivalent VHH antibodies for drug delivery studies, high resolution imaging applications, and viral detection and neutralization experiments.
5 Pillar Validation - Antibodies You Can Trust
R&D Systems has always been at the forefront of antibody validation testing. We carefully test every antibody we produce, following our established validation procedures as well as the 5 Pillars of Antibody Validation, so that you can be confident in the results generated with our antibodies.
What to Expect
- Access to the same developmental scientists that make our retail products
- Customized reagents and testing so that the reagent meets your specific requirements
- Quality oversight to ensure your product follows our rigorous quality assurance measures
- A long-term supply of high-performance products that exhibit the same quality and consistency as our retail products
Custom Antibody Services Case Studies
To help illustrate the breadth of the custom antibody services that we offer, and how other customers have utilized these services, we have compiled a selection of custom antibody services case studies. Each case study describes a problem our customer was facing and the approach we used to develop a custom antibody that would solve their problem and help them reach their goals.

Customer Success Stories
"Conversion of our traditional monoclonal to recombinant antibody offered immortal supply of a very high quality product. We also liked the feature of the recombinant technology to be able to exchange the constant chain between different species and the ability to express the antibody as Fab fragments."
Principal Scientist, BioTech Company
"Baseline samples taken one week apart from 15 cynomolgus monkeys were obtained from a Genentech study conducted at Charles River Laboratories (Reno, NV, USA). Positive controls from three sources were used: human IgG-cyno IgG fusion molecule produced for Genentech at R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN)."
