ABOUT US

 

WE PROVIDE RESEARCHERS WITH HIGH QUALITY, RELIABLE, CUSTOM ANTIBODY PRODUCTION SERVICES by recognizing that the humane care and use of the animals is essential to animal well-being as well as the quality of the services offered.

Since our inception in 1960, Major Academic Institutions, Nobel Prize Laureate sponsored laboratories, Major Pharmaceutical and Biotech companies have used Pocono Rabbit Farm and Laboratory (PRF&L) to help develop and produce their Custom Antibodies.

Be it Custom Antibodies to Cell Surface Receptors (e.g. GPCR), DNA, peptides or to highly conserved proteins, we can accommodate your single project or high throughput needs. Unlike some of our competitors, we do not subcontact out your antibody production. All work is done in our Canadensis, Pennsylvania facility. No need to go through separate vendors and establish various Purchase Orders to accomplish your goals, we are able to provide our clients with assistance from the selection and design of their immunogen through antibody purification. We have experience and technical staff to support the development of antibodies to a variety of antigen forms such as Native and Recombinant Proteins, Peptides, and Cells.

Our goal is to provide you with High Quality “Functional” Custom Antibodies. We have been in the Antibody Production business for now over 64 years and are still family owned and managed. Our name and reputation stand behind every project.

Proud to be a USDA Licensed, OLAW assured,  EU TRACES approved, and a Fully AAALAC accredited antibody production facility.

We provide researchers with high quality, reliable, custom antibody production services by recognizing that the humane care and use of the animals is essential to animal well-being as well as the quality of the services offered.

  • AAALAC Accredited - File Number 000926. Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care or AAALAC International. This is the gold standard for laboratory animal care. Many of our customers require that their contract labs be AAALAC accredited. View our AAALAC Accreditation Letter in pdf format.
  • USDA Registered (23-R-0141) - View our USDA Registration Certificate in pdf format and our latest USDA Inspection Report in pdf format.
  • NIH OLAW Assured - (A3886-01). View our most recent Animal Welfare Assurance Letter in pdf format.We have been in the Antibody Production business for now over 60 years and we are still family owned and managed. Our name and reputation stand behind every project.
  • EU APPROVED SHIPPER - TRACES (PA-TEC-0009)

    All of our custom polyclonal antibody production work is done right here in our Canadensis, Pennsylvania facility. Unlike some of our competitors, we do not subcontact out your antibody production. MADE IN THE USA AND PROUD OF IT !

  • There's no need to go thru several separate vendors and establishing various Purchase Orders to accomplish your goals. We are able to provide our clients with assistance from the selection and design of their immunogen thru antibody purification and validation, labeling, assay optimization to RNA archiving and Phage Display Library Development.
  • We have experience in the development of antibodies to a variety of antigen forms such as Native and Recombinant Proteins, Peptides, and live cells expressing complex GPCR receptor. Likewise we have expertise in the various modes of antigen delivery, from the classical adjuvant injection to nucleic acid delivery by mechanical and live virus delivery.
  • Our technicians are certified by the American Association of Laboratory Animal Sciences or AALAS. This ensures that our technicians have extensive training and experience with bleeding, injecting, caring, and handling research animals.
  • We are able to suggest injection and bleeding protocols based on our past 50 years of experience. Many times, we can suggest to you the best host species for your antigen. You can choose one of our protocols, modify one of our protocols, or use your protocol. We recognize that one protocol is not the best for all antigens and we are willing to work with you to develop the best protocol for your project. Our staff is always eager to try novel protocols.
  • We have an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) that approves all protocols. Our protocols for antibody production are preapproved so that there is no delay in starting your project. If you have a unique protocol that you want us to use, talk to us! We can usually follow your protocol if it is within our guidelines. Our IACUC is able to write approval letters to your institution or funding agency if required.
  • We have a state-of-the-art environmentally controlled and monitored animal facility. Temperature, humidity, and lighting are held to constants recommended by The Guide for the Use and Care of Laboratory Animals. This ensures that results are not altered by environmental stress.
