Research Use Only. Eligibility is confirmed before testing. This is not a free sample programme and Boster does not test customer-supplied samples under the free programme.

Validate the application before purchasing

Boster Bio's programme lets researchers request application-specific testing of eligible Picoband® antibodies before purchase. You provide the target, species, application and sample context. Boster proposes an experiment using its available in-house samples, performs the validation after you confirm the plan, and supplies the resulting evidence. You decide whether the data meets your requirements before buying.

Science deserves evidence before commitment.

The programme is designed to reduce trial-and-error when the existing datasheet does not cover the experimental context you need.

How free antibody validation works

1

Tell us your research settings

Provide your target protein, species, application, sample type, biomarkers or antibody of interest, plus other experimental details that matter.

2

Boster proposes the experiment

For eligible antibodies, Boster identifies a relevant available in-house sample and proposes the validation conditions for confirmation.

3

Boster tests the antibody in-house

Testing typically takes 2–5 days after the proposed experiment details are confirmed. Lead time can be longer when there is a queue.

4

Review the full validation report

You receive a professional PDF containing result images and the protocol used. For applicable histology validations, Boster states that certified pathologists assess specificity and provide a pathological staining score.

5

You decide whether to purchase

There is no obligation to buy. Review the evidence first and purchase through ABMIUM only if it meets your requirements.

What's included

Application-matched testing

WB, IHC, IF, ICC, flow cytometry, IP or ELISA for eligible antibodies.

Controls

Boster states that the programme includes positive controls, negative controls and application-matched protocols.

Result images

Experimental images are included in the validation report so you can inspect the evidence.

Protocol

The report includes the protocol used for the validation experiment.

Boster provides a professional PDF report following the validation. ABMIUM will pass the supplier's report to you so you can review the experimental evidence before making a purchase decision.

Where applicable to histology, the report can also include a pathological staining assessment from Boster's certified pathologists.

FAQ

Free antibody validation FAQs

Which antibodies are eligible?

Boster states that only participating antibodies marked as eligible for its Free Validation programme can be tested. ABMIUM will confirm eligibility before the request proceeds.

Can Boster test my own tissue or cell sample?

Not under the free programme. Boster tests using its in-house samples and selects the most relevant available sample for the requested context. Separate paid immunoassay services are available from Boster for extended testing.

How long does validation take?

Boster states that testing takes 2–5 days after the proposed experiment details are confirmed. A queue can make the lead time longer.

What do I receive?

A professional PDF validation report containing result images and the protocol used. Applicable histology validations can also include specificity assessment and a pathological staining score.

Do I have to buy the antibody?

No. Boster describes the programme as no-obligation. You review the data and decide whether it meets your standards before purchasing.
