Aptamer Products

While monoclonal antibodies have long been the cornerstone of molecular recognition, their inherent production variability, immunogenicity, and limited chemical tractability present significant challenges in modern diagnostics, therapeutics, and research. Aptamers have emerged as a superior class of synthetic affinity reagents engineered to overcome these constraints. These structured, single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotides, identified through a proprietary in vitro selection process (SELEX), are designed to fold into unique conformations that bind their targets with affinities and specificities often rivaling or exceeding those of antibodies. Their purely chemical synthesis ensures unparalleled batch-to-batch consistency, exceptional stability, and a unique amenability to precise site-specific modification, establishing them as the definitive affinity tool for next-generation applications.

Our BiApta™ bispecific aptamer engineering service allows for the creation of novel constructs with dual-target functionality. Furthermore, through our AptaMod™ platform, we provide a vast array of tailored aptamer modifications. Whether you require conjugation to fluorophores for imaging, biotin for immobilization, or nanoparticles for drug delivery, we can functionalize your aptamer for optimal performance.

3. Guaranteed Quality and Scalable Synthesis: As synthetic molecules, aptamers bypass the biological variability of antibodies.

Our AptaSyn™ custom synthesis platform ensures the highest purity and unparalleled batch-to-batch consistency. Every aptamer we produce undergoes rigorous quality control and validation, guaranteeing reliable performance in your hands, from small-scale research to large-scale manufacturing.

Applications of Aptamers

The unique advantages of aptamers have unlocked new possibilities across a wide spectrum of scientific disciplines. At Creative Biolabs, we develop aptamers that are empowering innovation and driving progress in:

• Diagnostics: Aptamers' robustness and specificity make them ideal for developing next-generation biosensors, lateral flow assays, and ELISA-like kits. Their stability allows for reliable performance even in point-of-care and field settings where environmental conditions can be harsh.
• Therapeutics: With their low immunogenicity and small size, aptamers are excellent candidates for targeted therapies. They can be engineered to deliver drug payloads directly to diseased cells, act as antagonists to block protein function, or serve as in vivo imaging agents.
• Basic and Applied Research: In the lab, aptamers are transforming fundamental techniques. They serve as superior ligands for affinity chromatography, reliable probes in Western blotting and flow cytometry (FACS), and essential components in complex molecular assemblies.
• Food Safety & Environmental Monitoring: The ability to generate aptamers against toxins, pesticides, and pathogens enables the rapid, specific, and cost-effective detection of contaminants, ensuring global safety and compliance.
