About Bio X Cell
A Team of Snowmobiling, Big-Fish-Catching, Outdoor-Loving, Research Fanatics
Here at Bio X Cell we are big fans of immunological research. Our team is dedicated to providing high-quality antibodies and antibody production services at outstanding prices. That way, you can spend less time troubleshooting experiments and more time doing the things that matter most—like stimulating 4-1BB or blocking LAG-3 to promote anti-tumor T Cell responses, or just enjoying life outside of the lab.
Setting the Standard For in vivo Grade Antibodies
Our aim is to facilitate the advancement of scientific discovery and innovation by providing high-quality antibodies at outstanding prices and backing them up with exceptional customer service. That’s why we take it upon ourselves to manufacture ultra-pure, low endotoxin antibodies - formulated without preservatives or stabilizers - targeting both well-characterized and novel antigens in the large quantities required for in vivo pre-clinical studies.
