Agreement covers the use Thermo Scientific DyLight Dyes in combination with AbD Serotec's research antibodies to prepare a series of fluorescent reagents
The resulting products will be available through the AbD Serotec sales catalogue.
Financial details were not disclosed.
DyLight fluorescent dyes, available exclusively as part of Thermo Scientific's protein research product line, are an excellent alternative to other commercially available fluorescent dyes.
DyLight dyes are water-soluble and provide high fluorescence intensity in many applications, while maintaining excellent photostability across a broad range of pH values.
DyLight dyes are available over a wide range of spectra and match the output wavelengths of common fluorescence instrumentation.
AbD Serotec's comprehensive product catalogue comprises more than 10,000 research antibodies and immunology reagents guaranteed to perform to specification.
Additionally, custom monoclonal antibodies are generated for non-therapeutic applications using the Hucal technology.
The Hucal technology allows novel antibodies to be generated significantly faster than the current market standard and provides various other advantages over the use of animals for antibody production.
"Fluorescent antibodies are particularly suited for detection of specific antigens in tissues or on cells and have become an indispensable tool for scientists worldwide," comments Achim Knappik senior director of R+D at AbD Serotec.
"Combining the vast range of research antibodies offered by AbD Serotec with DyLight fluorescence technology enables AbD Serotec to further expand its wide range of fluorescent reagents, and will thus further enhance our offering in this segment".
"DyLight Technology provides researchers a series of dyes with high fluorescence intensity and compatibility with instrumentation," said Gary Shiels, director of marketing for Thermo Scientific Pierce protein-analysis products.
"We are pleased AbD Serotec has selected the DyLight Technology to prepare fluorescent labels for its wide range of antibodies, further enabling the use of DyLight Technology in a wide range of applications."
