Rockland Immunochemicals is a global biotechnology company manufacturing leading edge research tools and cGMP grade proteins for basic, applied and clinical research in functional genomics, gene therapy and drug discovery markets. Rockland operates outside of Philadelph...ia, Pennsylvania, USA. European and Asian markets are supported through a highly specialized network of key distributors. Technology: The technology base of the organization is the experience of its staff scientists in the production and purification of a wide range of antibodies through monoclonal & polyclonal antibody techniques utilizing in vitro and in vivo methods. Our staff is also experienced in recombinant protein generation using bacterial, yeast and mammalian expression systems. Send us your gene(s) of interest and we will subclone into the appropriate expression vector, transform/transfect the appropriate system, express the protein in culture and purify the target protein to homogeneity. Commercialization: Rockland's antibodies are suited for individuals performing High Throughput Screening, Drug Discovery, diagnostic kit production and life science research. Primary antibodies include Apolipoproteins, Apoptosis/Cell Cycle, Cytokines, Cell Signaling, Enzymes, Extracellular Matrix, Transcription Factors (NFkB) and Ubiquitin. Secondary antibodies are conjugated to a broad range of enzymes, fluorphors and Magnetic Particles. ROCKLAND has the ability to custom produce antibodies as well as purify and conjugate them to your exact specifications. Partnering: Our goal is to work with researchers in the life sciences to identify those bioreagent needs, which currently limit the pace of research. We then seek to meet those needs with the most characterized, highest quality reagents and information available to us. In the pursuit of top-quality bioreagents, we have found that academic laboratories usually characterize their own reagents much more thoroughly than is economically possible in commercial organizations with hundreds or thousands of products. Accordingly, we have partnered with many leading cell signaling laboratories around the world. Our external partners are also instrumental in verifying that the reagents Rockland produces in-house meet real-world needs and do not just pass standardized tests. Every lot of every product is quality-control tested to a rigorous standard and application-tested for consistent performance.

Women had the right stuff, too, back in the '60s. But the data on their performance tests were buried, and it was two decades before there was an American female astronaut.
