Based on your sample, we select the most suitable assay type and platform, prepare test matrices, and confirm controls.
Using validated protocols, our experts run binding assays, epitope binning, and paratope mapping with precision instrumentation and real-time data collection.
You receive a full analysis report detailing binding affinity (KD, Ka, Kd), epitope classification, and off-target identification—backed by raw data and figures.
Assays to Address All Binding Questions
Antibody affinity defines the strength of interaction between an antibody and its target, which can directly impact the efficacy and specificity of therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Accurate measurement of antibody affinity is critical for lead selection, characterization of biologics, and biosimilar comparison. Our services use a combination of established gold-standard platforms such as Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI), and ELISA-based assays to measure kinetic parameters (Ka, Kd) and equilibrium binding constants (KD) for a broad range of antibody formats.
Paratope mapping is a technique used to identify specific residues in the antibody that are involved in antigen binding. Our paratope mapping services for antibodies use a combination of epitope-guided alanine scanning mutagenesis, cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS), and hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDX-MS) techniques to determine the precise binding regions of antibodies at an atomic level.
Epitope binning is a classification technique that groups a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) based on their ability to compete with each other for binding to a shared antigen target. It's typically done by measuring the binding activity of each antibody in the presence of other antibodies from the same panel, in a competitive binding assay.
CreMap™ is a high-throughput technology platform for epitope discovery developed and optimized for mapping linear epitopes. Using a tiled peptide library display of the entire antigen sequence, phage display, and mass spectrometry, CreMap™ can rapidly determine immunodominant regions across different species.
Membrane Proteome Array (MPA) platform is used to screen antibodies against a library of over 6,000 human membrane proteins, which are expressed on live human cells in their full-length, functional forms. The MPA platform can be used to comprehensively characterize antibody specificity and screen for off-target interactions.

Not at all. While structural information can enhance interpretation, it's not a prerequisite. Our CreMap™ system uses tiled linear peptide libraries to probe your antibody's epitope space, even when the antigen is unknown or hard to express. Similarly, for paratope mapping, we can perform alanine scanning, HDX-MS, or XL-MS directly on the antibody, independent of antigen structural data.
Yes, we have extensive experience with bispecifics, dual-variable-domain antibodies, and other complex modalities. We can design assays that isolate the binding of each arm—either through sequential binding in SPR/BLI, competitive assays, or using distinct antigen immobilization strategies. This is particularly useful for confirming correct arm pairing, valency effects, and minimizing unwanted cross-reactivity.
Definitely. Our assays are conducted under standardized SOPs, and our reports are formatted to meet regulatory expectations. Many clients use our affinity, binning, and specificity data in pre-IND, IND, or BLA submissions. We provide raw datasets, analysis scripts (on request), and publication-quality figures.
We sure do. Once you have your binding data, we can support further antibody engineering, such as affinity maturation, humanization, or Fc engineering. Many clients transition directly into our optimization pipelines after completing binding characterization.
