Open Biosystems, Inc. and Abcam, Plc., announced that they have entered into an agreement under which Open Biosystems will sell Abcam's primary antibodies alongside Open's libraries of cDNA, ORF and shRNA clones. The agreement creates the world's most extensive resource of genetic content for the analysis of gene function.
Customers will be able to use the advanced gene search tool at Open's website to query by gene symbol or accession to bring up an index of all of the matched content available to study a gene. Matched products will be shipped together within 48 hours of order receipt.
Matt Baker, Executive VP of Business Development at Open, said, "Open Biosystems continues to enhance the value of genetic content available for academic and commercial scientists. The agreement with Abcam further enables researchers to have access to a comprehensive solution for functional gene analysis expressing a gene, knocking down a gene and detecting the gene product all from one provider."
Jonathan Milner, CEO of Abcam said, "We are delighted to sign this agreement with Open Biosystems. Abcam is recognized in the marketplace for the quality of our products and we are happy to provide Open Biosystems with a selection of our products for distribution alongside their comprehensive range of gene content analysis components. We are enthusiastic to be working alongside Open Biosystems, and I believe it will allow both companies to expand in this exciting part of the market.
