Free Antibody Validation: Test Before You Buy

Discover Boster Bio’s free in-house antibody validation service, now easily accessible via Bio-Connect. Share your experimental setup and receive reliable, application-specific data—before making a purchase decision.


Why Choose Boster Bio’s Free Antibody Validation?

Advance your research with confidence. Let us know your experimental requirements, and we’ll validate antibodies for your specific application—at no cost, before you buy.

  • Choose from over 8,000 antibodies
  • 500+ sample types available (human, mouse, rat, monkey, zebrafish)
  • Validation possible for WB, IHC, IF, ICC, Flow Cytometry, IP, and ELISA
  • No obligation to purchase—order only if satisfied with the results

How does Boster’s Free Antibody Validation Program Work?

Avoid wasting time and budget on antibodies that may not perform in your system. Our service is free, with no strings attached. Purchase only if the results meet your expectations.

Step 1: Submit Your Experiment Details for Antibody Testing

You tell us your research settings.

Fill the form or email with Bio-Connect. If you email, be sure to include species, application, sample types, biomarkers/antibodies of interest, and any other details that matter to you. Only antibodies marked with the badge on the Boster Bio website below are eligible for this program.

Step 2: In-House Antibody Validation on Relevant Samples

We test our antibodies in-house on similar sample types. This process takes 2-5 days after confirming our proposed experiment details. If there is a queue, the lead time could be longer.

Step 3: Receive a full Antibody Validation Report—Free of Charge

You will receive a professional PDF report that contains the result images + protocol used. For histology validations, our certified pathologists will also give a pathological staining score for each antibody, if applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Boster’s Free Antibody Validation Program

Is this a free antibody sample program?

No, we perform the validation for you. If you require sample-size antibodies for your own testing, please ask about our sample program.

Can I send my own samples?

No, validation is performed using our in-house samples. Our form is integrated with an AI tool to help select the most relevant samples for your research. If you do not find ones you like, we will recommend.

Can I request validation for third-party antibodies?

No, we can only test the 8000+ participating antibodies from Boster Bio in this program free of charge.

Do you offer additional immunoassay services?

Yes, please note that we do offer immunoassay services, including WB, IHC, Multiplex IF, and ELISA, for a fee.

Our Commitment to Antibody Accountability

Why the Antibody Industry Needs Change

For too long, scientists—including those in the Benelux—have had to gamble valuable time and funding on antibodies that might not work. Decisions have often been based on reputation, citations, or gut feeling, resulting in unreliable data, wasted resources, and little support when things go wrong. At Boster Bio, we believe this should change. Researchers deserve reliable, application-specific data before making a purchase, and vendors should be accountable for product performance.

Our Mission: Free Validation, Real Accountability

Our mission is to move the antibody industry forward—away from guesswork and towards accountability, transparency, and service. With our Free Antibody Validation Program, we take the burden of trial-and-error off your shoulders. We validate our own antibodies in your specific application context, before you buy, so you get data that works—not just data sheets.

This isn’t a free sample program; it’s a fundamental shift in how we support scientific discovery. By taking responsibility for antibody performance before purchase, we help researchers avoid wasted budgets and build confidence in their results.

How Can We Offer Free Validation?

Some may wonder: “Isn’t free validation expensive?” For many companies, it is. But Boster Bio is uniquely positioned to offer this service because of our infrastructure and experience:

  • Ready-to-use samples: We prepare common tissues and lysates in large batches and keep them on hand.
  • Immediate access to inventory: Our in-house stock means no shipping delays.
  • High-throughput validation: Our technicians use optimized protocols, bulk reagents, and automated systems to test thousands of antibodies each month.
  • Efficient cost absorption: We already run these validations at scale; this program simply lets us prioritize the tests our customers need most.

Instead of testing every antibody in every possible setting, we validate on demand—focusing our resources on the markers that matter to you. This approach saves time for your lab and for ours.

Why Most Companies Can’t Do This

Many antibody suppliers are resellers, not manufacturers. They lack direct access to inventory, a broad catalog, and the laboratory infrastructure needed for in-house validation. With only a few hundred antibodies, or low QC standards, free validation becomes unsustainable. At Boster Bio, we produce our own antibodies, maintain a diverse catalog, and uphold stringent quality control—making this service possible for thousands of products.

The Benelux Advantage: Local Support, Global Standards

By partnering with Bio-Connect, we bring this unique program directly to the Benelux research community. Our goal is to support your science with transparency, accountability, and expert technical support—so you can focus on discovery, not troubleshooting. We’re proud to help move the industry from a catalog-based system built on guesswork to a service-first model grounded in real data and trust.
