ExBio in Italy

CABRU distributes ExBio (EXBIO Praha) in Italy, a Czech manufacturer of purified and conjugated monoclonal antibodies for multicolour flow cytometry and immunology. The CABRU catalogue lists 4,093 ExBio references, the widest antibody range among the represented brands.

About ExBio

ExBio was founded in 1990 as a spin-off of the Institute of Molecular Genetics in Prague, holding the commercialisation rights to a collection of monoclonal antibodies, and since 1998 has operated as EXBIO Praha, a.s. It is based in Vestec, just outside Prague. The manufacturer states more than 4,000 catalogue products, in-house development of tandem dye technology completed in 2013, and large-scale bioprocess capability for producing monoclonal antibodies in gram quantities.

What ExBio makes

  • Purified monoclonal antibodies against surface and intracellular antigens: 1,336 purified references in the CABRU catalogue. → Antibodies
  • Conjugates for multicolour flow cytometry — 427 FITC references, 461 APC, 214 PE-Cy, 198 PerCP, 280 Alexa Fluor and 167 Pacific Blue or Pacific Orange.
  • Ancillary flow cytometry reagents, including viability staining and lysing solutions.
  • Antibodies for other methods — 25 references validated in western blot and 17 in ELISA. → ELISA kits

ExBio references in the CABRU catalogue

Of the 4,093 ExBio references in the CABRU catalogue, 2,830 carry a CD marker in the product name: that is the measure of how far the range is built around immunophenotyping. More than 1,490 references are classified as QC tested for flow cytometry, with additional validations in immunoprecipitation, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry on frozen or paraffin-embedded tissue, and western blot.

Application areas

Immunology and immunophenotyping, experimental haematology, research on lymphocyte subsets, stem cells, oncology and cell biology. The manufacturer also names dedicated clinical areas, including immunodeficiency and reproductive immunology. For a flow cytometry laboratory the value lies in breadth: several clones and several fluorochromes for the same target.

Building a panel with CABRU

Across 4,093 references the problem is not finding the antibody, it is choosing the right combination: clone, fluorochrome compatible with the instrument's optical configuration and consistent with the other channels of the panel. CABRU starts from the target and the cytometer configuration, offers clone and conjugate alternatives, and checks with the manufacturer for combinations not shown in the catalogue.

CABRU distributes ExBio in Italy and handles technical enquiries, quotes and orders as the local point of contact.

How many ExBio references are in the CABRU catalogue?

4,093, of which 2,830 carry a CD marker in the product name and more than 1,490 are classified as QC tested for flow cytometry.

Does ExBio offer conjugated antibodies for multicolour flow cytometry?

Yes. The CABRU catalogue lists 427 FITC references, 461 APC, 214 PE-Cy, 198 PerCP, 280 Alexa Fluor and 167 Pacific Blue or Pacific Orange.

How is the right clone and fluorochrome chosen?

By telling CABRU the target and the optical configuration of the cytometer: on that basis clone and conjugate alternatives compatible with the other panel channels are proposed.

Can ExBio antibodies also be used in western blot or ELISA?

Some references can: in the CABRU catalogue 25 are classified for western blot and 17 for ELISA. Validation should be confirmed on the datasheet of the individual reference.

Is CABRU the exclusive distributor of ExBio?

No. CABRU distributes ExBio in Italy on a non-exclusive basis.
