Managing change in the new antibody research environment

Posted by Universal on January 13th, 2016

The expression “managing change” is sometimes very loosely used. It has become an almost meaningless euphemism, in an environment which is a virtual continuous moving target like antibody research. OK, so the people who manufacture buzzwords aren’t exactly the go-to authorities on any subject, but the real issues of managing change in antibody research need to be considered very carefully.

The bottom line for researchers is that client demands are also ongoing moving targets. In business terms, managing change equates to managing demand. Managing demand, in turn, equates to improving and enhancing your ability to deliver.

That’s not necessarily easy. It takes a bit of planning, and setting up resources to meet demand for increased capacity. Interestingly, one of the new options for research organizations is to outsource things like lab work. If that idea rings a bell, this is the new best practice for stretched researchers who want to get on with their work.

These external resources are particularly useful in high grunt programs where a lot of testing and things like custom antibody design are involved. By way of example, there’s a company called Capralogics which is both a US market leading major supplier and a source of external services when required.
As a supplier, they are very much the go-to place for standard antibodies like rabbit anti-llama, rabbit anti-llama FITC,chicken antibodies and everything else you could put on an antibody shopping list. They also supply a range of services, including custom antibody development, lab work, and built-in expertise.

You can see why this range of services might be a very good way of resourcing research programs. It’s a “cover all bases” approach, factoring in increased demand, and also accessing market leader quality services.

For more information, visit their website here atwww.capralogics.com. Take a little time to really explore the site, because there’s a lot of very useful information available. In particular, take note of their range of antibody products and client services. You will see a smorgasbord of useful options. You can contact them directly online or by phone for a chat about your needs.
