BioVendor in Italy

CABRU distributes BioVendor in Italy. BioVendor is a Czech biotechnology group founded in 1992 and based in Brno, which develops and manufactures immunoassays, recombinant proteins and antibodies. CABRU s.a.s., in Arcore (MB), is the Italian point of contact for enquiries, quotes and orders: the BioVendor catalogue managed by CABRU comprises 1,025 references, corresponding to 895 distinct products, built around circulating biomarkers.

About BioVendor

Started in Brno as a local company, the group has extended into immunodiagnostics, molecular diagnostics and radioimmunodiagnostics, with in-house development and manufacturing. Intended use varies from line to line and from product to product: what counts is always the statement on the manufacturer's datasheet, which CABRU forwards on request before the order.

What the BioVendor catalogue distributed by CABRU contains

The 1,025 references break down as follows:

  • ELISA kits — 435 references, with a sandwich method declared on 292 and a competitive one on 61; detection uses biotinylated, HRP or acetylcholinesterase conjugates. → ELISA kits
  • Proteins — 329 references across 303 recombinant, 17 native, 7 synthetic and 2 active, used as antigens, calibrators and material for assay development. → Proteins
  • Antibodies — 174 references split into 153 polyclonal and 21 monoclonal; the most frequent host species are rabbit with 80 references, sheep with 67 and mouse with 21. → Antibodies
  • Other assays — 19 colorimetric assays, 4 immunocapture enzyme-activity assays, 3 control sets, 3 extraction products and 2 immunoturbidimetric or nephelometric methods.

Best-represented biomarkers

This catalogue is read by analyte, not by code. Recurring targets include adiponectin and insulin with 23 references each, bone-metabolism markers with 17, cystatin with 16, angiopoietins with 12, procalcitonin and leptin with 11, ghrelin with 10, resistin with 8, fetuin with 7 and vitamin D with 5. Species coverage is mainly human, with 660 references, followed by mouse with 88, rat with 66, canine with 13 and porcine with 9.

Application areas

Endocrinology and metabolism, cardiovascular biomarkers, nephrology, bone metabolism, inflammation and immunology. The adipokines — adiponectin, leptin, resistin, visfatin — form a recognisable cluster inside the catalogue distributed in Italy.

How to order BioVendor in Italy

The enquiry reaches CABRU, which checks it against the manufacturer's price list, prepares the quote and oversees the order through to delivery, dealing with the laboratory directly. There are 89 distinct pack sizes: the 0.1 mg size covers 395 references across proteins and antibodies, while the single 96-well plate covers 426. For larger cohorts, 22 references come in a multi-plate pack of 2 or 5 plates.

Anyone working on one specific biomarker rarely knows the code: it is enough to state the analyte, the matrix and the species, and CABRU traces the matching kit or protein and forwards its datasheet before the quote. → Browse the catalogue · Request a quote
