Products

edit

The company distributes a number of science reagents and assay kits, including custom recombinant proteins and antibodies, real time PCR and quantitative ELISA kits. The company's current catalog lists over 1 million individual products used in academic, biotechnological, and pharmaceutical industries.

Peer reviews

edit

One peer-reviewed article[1] that compared the specificity of several, commercially-available kits for glucagon and oxyntomodulin found that the MyBioSource assay (MBS701592) for detecting oxyntomodulin "yielded inconsistent results". And another article[2] investigated the specificity of commercially available EIA kits for identification of neutralizing antibodies to adenovirus Ad36 found that "all seronegative samples (as determined by SNA) were false positive" by MyBioSource's Ad36 EIA (MBS705802).
