Managing the Business Bottom Line in Antigen Development
Posted by Elite Internet Technologies on March 17th, 2016
Antigen development has become a virtual workhorse for antibody researchers in so many ways. It’s an important part of product development, and an integral part of research. What’s not generally recognized, however, is that this very necessary process also needs to deliver values in business terms.
It’s ironic, at a time when “research costs” are so frequently and so vaguely quoted in the media, that this bottom line approach often isn’t well understood. In practice, any research project business manager can tell you that researchers can cost their research very efficiently indeed.
The issues with costing are far more complex. Experienced researchers know only too well that costing, timeframes, and the not-very-mysterious process of possible problems with both is the bane of research programs. It’s necessary to nail down costs, and lock in reliable support services at all stages of product development.
The other problem, equally ironic in some ways, is that the extremely rapid advancement of antibody research has basically created a need for developers to be able to access the very latest products and services. In practice, you need to be able to access both standard products like goat anti-llama biotin, goat anti-llama FITC, Sheep anti-ZDNA and advanced products.
The major quandary is finding a reliable source able to deal with core supply requirements and the demands of advanced product development. Probably the best example of a top-of-the-line, all-purpose antigen development service in the US is a company called Capralogics Inc. This company is a market leader in the pharmaceuticals, clinical, and academic sectors.
Their antigen development services provide peptide synthesis, antigen design and conjugation services in-house. Also to the point – They provide clear, up front costing.
They also provide a truly comprehensive range of services for their clients, including custom product development, lab services, consultancy and antibody materials sourcing. They’ve become a virtual one stop shop for high-end product development across the spectrum. This very flexible business model delivers a true best practice approach to core business needs for their very diverse range of clients, managing all aspects of product development very efficiently.
