Boster Bio Offers Affordable Custom Antibodies for Rare Species Research

CA, UNITED STATES, October 6, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Boster Bio, a life science research reagent and service provider founded in 1993, has introduced a new custom antibody service aimed at researchers working with less commercially supported organisms. The company now offers $600 custom antibodies for zebrafish, Drosophila, yeast, plants, C. elegans, Xenopus, mosquitoes, rice, and other rare species, addressing a significant gap in the availability of suitable reagents for these research models.

This service is particularly beneficial for scientists studying developmental biology, genetics, neuroscience, microbiology, plant biology, and comparative biology, where the target protein or gene may not have a commercially available antibody. Boster Bio's custom antibody program is designed to help researchers pursue their biological questions without being constrained by the limitations of standard antibody catalogs.

The company has a long history of supporting antibody and immunoassay research, with a catalog of over 40,000 antibodies and products cited in more than 70,000 publications. Boster Bio's custom antibody development capabilities include polyclonal antibodies, hybridoma monoclonal antibodies, recombinant monoclonal antibodies, nanobodies, recombinant protein expression, antibody purification, and validation services. This infrastructure allows the company to offer a lower-cost route to custom antibody development for researchers working with non-standard model organisms.

For example, Boster Bio has developed several existing custom antibodies for non-standard organisms, including the Anti-Zebrafish EYS Antibody (DZ06950-1), Anti-Zebrafish Rab18b Antibody (DZ33953), Anti-Zebrafish SWD1 Antibody (DZ33920), Anti-Fruit Fly so Antibody (DZ33963), Anti-Fruit Fly Cup Antibody (DZ41190), and Anti-Yeast BRE2 Antibody (DZ33917). These products demonstrate the range of targets that can be addressed through custom antibody development when an appropriate reagent is not readily available from standard catalogs.

The $600 custom antibody service is intended to support academic laboratories, early-stage projects, and researchers studying less commercially supported biological systems. Researchers can review eligibility and project requirements at Boster Bio’s $600 Custom Antibody Service for Rare Species and Discontinued Antibodies. The program includes support for antigen design, gene synthesis, recombinant protein or antigen expression, antibody production, and final antibody purification, depending on project requirements.

Boster Bio’s custom antibody service for rare species and discontinued antibodies is particularly relevant for scientists working with zebrafish, fruit flies, yeast, plants, amphibians, nematodes, mosquitoes, rice, and other non-human and non-murine species. This service offers a more accessible path to custom antibody production, especially for laboratories operating on restricted research budgets.

By offering this lower-cost route to custom antibody development, Boster Bio aims to help scientists pursue targets that might otherwise be limited by antibody availability, discontinued reagents, or development cost. The company’s commitment to supporting research with more than three decades of antibody experience is evident in its comprehensive catalog and extensive publication record.
