| Biosynthesis have sold more home DNA kits than any other company and were the first to offer a home DNA test on the internet. We have never received a single complaint. All of the testing is performed by an accredited laboratory in accordance with the standards set forth by the Parentage Committee of the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB). The AABB inspects and accredits paternity testing laboratories based on the standards adopted and agreed upon by the Parentage Committee. |

Custom Peptide Synthesis |
|
| |
Custom peptides are synthesized in solid phase, cleaved, then purified up to a required level. Our standard purity is 98 %, but lower purities like 80 % or 90 % are available at substantial savings. Peptides requiring liquid phase synthesis or unusual requirements are priced higher and have a longer delivery time. |

Peptide Selection and Design |
|
| |
The first step in the process is the selection of the appropriate peptide sequence. At this step the ultimate use for the antibody must be considered. If the antibody is needed to probe a specific protein domain then the choice is simple. |

Selecting the Protein Carrier |
|
| |
Conjugation to a carrier protein is important because peptides are small molecules, that alone do not tend to be immunogenic, thus possibly eliciting a weak immune response. The carrier protein contains many epitopes that stimulate T-helper cells, which help induce the B-cell response. |
