the precision research tools required to address the majority of life
science assays used today and those emerging in the future."
Protein labelling is essential to biological research in proteomics
and 84% of researchers are looking for conjugation ready solutions,
says Abcam. Proteomics research requires the use of molecular labels that are covalently attached to a protein of interest to facilitate
