About Us

Cell Surface Bio was created by scientists like yourself, frustrated with the quality of existing commercial antibodies. CSB’s mission is to provide scientists only the highest quality antibodies that are high affinity, exquisite specificity, and already characterized, so that you don’t have to waste valuable experimental time. We have all experienced the frustration of purchasing an antibody that ultimately does not work. Even if you could get a refund, you can’t get those two weeks of your life back running an experiment destined to fail. The antibody reproducibility crisis and the damage it has done to scientific experiments has been well documented by the scientific community. CSB antibodies are built on 20 years of antibody discovery and characterization technologies created by its parent company Integral Molecular, which was founded in 2001 and is the industry leader in isolating antibodies against multipass membrane proteins. By leveraging 20 years of antibody discovery experience and antibody characterization technologies, CSB is able to provide the highest quality antibodies in the industry.

Our mission is to provide scientists only the highest quality antibodies, because as fellow scientists, we know that your time in the lab is valuable.

CSB’s antibodies are generated using Integral Molecular’s MPS Antibody Discovery platform, which is designed to isolate diverse panels of high affinity mAbs against the native structures of the most difficult targets and conserved epitopes. Antibodies are then validated using Integral Molecular’s technology platforms, including specificity profiling against ~6,000 membrane proteins on Integral Molecular’s Membrane Proteome Array.

Why Cell Surface Bio and VeRSaMAb

Quality
Frustrated by antibodies that just don’t work as promised? Tired of spending a week on an experiment, only to find out that the antibody you bought doesn’t even work?

  • All CSB antibodies undergo comprehensive specificity testing across the human membrane proteome using Integral Molecular’s Membrane Proteome Array (MPA)
  • All CSB antibodies are validated for widely used applications, including flow cytometry and IF
  • All antibodies have been molecularly modified for ease of use, including the addition of an Avitag for easy biotinylation and labeling and Fc modifications that minimize background reactivity

Reliable and Reproducible
Did you know that different reagent companies can sell the exact same antibody under different names?

  • CSB is not an antibody re-seller or a non-scientific marketing engine. All our antibodies are produced and characterized in house and are not available elsewhere.
  • CSB’s catalog of recombinant VeRSaMAbs ensures no lot-to-lot variation and fully reproducible results
  • CSB’s manufacturing process enables its VeRSaMAbs to be used as high quality research reagents or as critical reagents in diagnostic or clinical applications (licenses may apply)
