Southern Biotech’s diverse range of Secondary Antibodies can transform the way researchers perceive their application results and can be used alongside Vector Laboratory Reagents
Secondary antibodies are indispensable tools for all research applications as they are essential for sorting, purifying and detecting target antigens in flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry (IHC), western blotting and for various assay developments e.g. multiplexing
Researchers are always faced with the challenge to find the ideal Secondary Antibody that can be cost effective, offering optimal signal amplification without background noise, and thirdly a versatile reagent that can be used across different applications without any cross-reactive tendencies.
Southern Biotech stands out as a premier provider of secondary antibodies as they offer a diverse range of host species (Mouse, Rabbit, Goat, Rat, Llama, Hamster, Chicken, Human) and subclasses for the species including fragmented antibodies that are greatly effective in Immunohistochemistry for better and effective tissue penetration and any Fc receptor immune cells.
What makes them stand out is their Secondary antibody properties:
- These antibodies have been Affinity purified to ensure high specificity and
- They are also Cross-adsorbed to remove any antibodies demonstrating undesirable off-target binding, either to antibodies from another species or to antibodies of a different class or subclass reducing background noise offering enhanced signal detection
These are, therefore, especially useful for applications such as sandwich ELISA, where secondary antibody binding to the immobilized capture antibody must be avoided, and IHC, where it is critical that the secondary antibody does not bind non-specifically to the sample material.
With the key benefits of focusing on high affinity purification, cross adsorbtion, fragmented antibody development, they can become a reliable and dependable tool for all research applications.
2BScientific Limited are happy to be the key distributor for Southern Biotech and Vector Laboratories offering these as a great set of tools for enhancing IHC staining capabilities. Currently some of Southern Biotech top antibodies can be effectively used with Vector Laboratory Products as well which are:

SouthernBiotech has steadily expanded its product portfolio over time. The company was initially renowned for its secondary antibodies, and since then, SouthernBiotech has broadened its offerings to include primary antibodies and a diverse array of immunoreagents. Through the provision of fully customisable services, the company ensures it meets the unique requirements of each research endeavour.
This tailored approach, combined with the company's accessibility and responsiveness, solidifies SouthernBiotech as a dependable partner for researchers across varying scales. Researchers can utilise SouthernBiotech's products and services, including monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, secondary antibodies, and isotype controls, for a wide range of critical applications.
These include protein detection and quantification in Western blotting, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry assays, as well as flow cytometry and immunoprecipitation. Additionally, their IHC kits facilitate tissue and cell staining for visualising specific proteins, while collagen products are valuable for studying cell-matrix interactions and applications in tissue engineering.
SouthernBiotech offers a highly adaptable custom polyclonal antibody production service, catering to your specific requirements. For antibody generation, they can work on both small and large scales, following standard protocols or client-provided immunisation schedules. Additionally, SouthernBiotech also provides comprehensive antibody testing and characterisation, this includes serum titre evaluation, ELISA testing, endotoxin analysis, and various analytical techniques like HPLC, Western blot, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemistry.
The efficacy of these products is highlighted by their integration into numerous publications, demonstrating their pivotal role in advancing research. Take a look at some publications that use a range of SouthernBiotech products below.
