Headquartered in Beijing, China, Sino Biological is the world’s leading provider of mammalian cell-based recombinant proteins, antibodies, and related contract research services. A considerable portion of its custom contract research services is the design, development and manufacture of custom monoclonal antibodies for both basic research and in vitro diagnostics applications. The combination of providing monoclonal antibody active site nucleic acid and amino acid sequence information along with the corresponding purified, bioactive antibody to clients will yield invaluable insight into antibody structure and function, enabling clients to optimize antibody engineering strategies, protect intellectual property, develop new diagnostics platforms and enhance drug discovery.

Rapid Novor’s REmAb monoclonal antibody sequencing capabilities perfectly complement Sino Biological’s antibody development and manufacturing services. We believe the combination of these services synergistically elevates the value of our custom monoclonal antibody products for our clients.”
