🌞🦙 Summer makeover? You bet.
Our alpacas ditched the fleece to stay cool – maybe your antibodies should too.
sdAbs are high-performance tools made of just the antigen-binding domain (∼15 kDa, 3 nm). 🔬🧪Perfect for IF, super-resolution microscopy, IP & more.

Yes, it might be that in some synaptic type, other synaptotagmin isoforms are more dominant, but it is far from demonstrated that there is NO Syt1 in such synapses...

Fun fact: Alpacas love dust baths! 🦙💨

Spring at our farm means blossoms, sun & lots of happy rolling in the sand 🌸☀️
Just like our alpacas enjoy a refreshing dust bath, our clients enjoy smooth #sdAb discovery.

Let’s roll into new discoveries together 🙃!
