The Need for Thoughtful Antigen Design in Zebrafish Research
BosterBio: Explore the innovative strategies in antigen design that are set to enhance the specificity and effectiveness of antibodies in zebrafish research.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No, we perform the validation for you. If you require sample-size antibodies for your own testing, please ask about our sample program.
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.
No, we can only test the 8000+ participating antibodies from Boster Bio in this program free of charge.
Yes, please note that we do offer immunoassay services, including WB, IHC, Multiplex IF, and ELISA, for a fee.
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 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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
