Panning for Your Exact Requirements
Pioneer Select employs tailored panning strategies that steer the selection toward your exact binding requirements.
Selective Binding — No Cross-Reactivity
Requirement: Antibodies binding the antigen but not a closely related antigen (CRA).
Strategy: Selection on antigen with library subtraction using the CRA to deplete unwanted cross-reactive binders.
Multi-Species or Multi-Antigen Binding
Requirement: Antibodies recognizing epitopes present on two or three antigens (e.g., human and mouse target).
Strategy: Alternating selection rounds on two or three closely related antigens during panning.
Non-Competing Epitope Selection
Requirement: Two antibodies binding distinct, non-overlapping epitopes for sandwich assay formats.
Strategy: Epitope binning to identify binders to distinctive epitopes.
Performance under Assay Conditions
Requirement: Antibodies suitable under specific conditions, e.g., organic solvents or matrix components.
Strategy: Performing antibody selection directly under the target assay conditions to select functionally compatible binders.
Fit-for-Purpose Antibodies for Your Critical Assays
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pioneer Select?
