Serological Testing Using Anti-Human Secondary Antibodies

From SARS-CoV-2 tests used during the pandemic through to organ transplant screening, serological tests play a crucial role in clinical decision-making. Immunoassays are the foundation of the most powerful and sensitive serological tests available, based on the highly specific binding between antibodies and antigens they enable qualitative and quantitative detection of analytes even at low concentrations. Jackson ImmunoResearch's Anti-Human antibodies are used in the development and manufacture of serological tests critical in clinical decision-making.
