for picoBand antibodies only

Free antibody validation

we can test the antibody on your tissue of interest free of charge before you commit to purchase.

How to Apply validation

These steps might be your guide if you are concerned about whether our antibodies will work on untested sample types and decided to use this service.

  • Find

    Find out if there is a badge named 'Free Validation' in the top left corner of the picture of the product you are interested in. If there is, you can participate in this promotion.

  • Check

    We can only test sample types that we have in stock for free. You can find accepted sample types below on this page. We cannot accept testing of user-provided samples as part of this program. We have CRO services where we can test your samples for you as a service. For more details please see CRO services page.

  • Contact

    Contact [email protected] and provide the antibody SKU, the experiments you wish to conduct (please follow the list of available experiments), and the sample name. We will provide you with feedback on whether we can conduct this test very soon. We will attach a link to the $50 deposit for you to buy.

  • Wait

    We will provide you with the resulting pictures in 3-7 business days when there is no queue. We do not guarantee such turnaround time as sometimes our lab has to prioritize other work over this, but we try our best to do these free tests as soon as we can.

    For each month, we guanrantee to provide a certain number of free testings on a first come first serve basis. First come, first get. To secure your position, contact us today, and check back with us early in the month.

  • Result

    If the experiment results indicate that our product is negative, the $50 deposit will be automatically refunded. If the experiment results show that our product is possitive, we will provide a quote with the $50 deposit deducted. When you make a purchase of the full size antibody that tested positive for your experiment, you can apply the $50 towards your purchase.

    This way, you will not be at a financial disadvantage in any scenario, except if you requested for a test, we tested and showed the antibody to work properly, and you decided to not purchase it, then the $50 deposit is not refundable and used to cover our labor and materials.

    You can contact [email protected] if you want further information.

How is Boster Bio different than other antibody companies?

"Does your antibody work on XXXXX (assay) in YYYY (species)?"--we get this question ALL the time. Not just us, every antibody company get this question a lot: will our antibody, which happens to not be validated on your tissue/cell line of interests, work for your needs? We however, have a different and better answer than every other antibody company.

We have been doing this for years. It is impossible to validate an antibody on every tissue and cell line. When customers reached to us expressing concerns whether our antibody will work on a untested sample type, if we had the sample type on hand, we would test the antibody on the sample of interest, and send the results back to the customer, free of charge, before the customer commit to buy anything.

We take pride in going the extra mile to help our customers, and we have gotten a lot of positive feedback for this particular practice. In 2024, we decided to make it an official program, to honor our commitment to excellent customer service and support.
