Our Autoantigen Standards

High purity diagnostic reagents with exceptional lot-to-lot consistency

Adhering to stringent quality control measures, we deliver products that meet the highest industry standards, supporting accurate and dependable diagnostic outcomes.

>90% Purity

AROTEC autoantigens have a minimum specification of >90% purity. This high level of purity is achieved through advanced chromatographic techniques and careful “polishing” of the final products.

Our purification strategies are designed to minimize potential contaminants, ensuring low background signals for reliable assay performance.

Highly active autoantigens

Our highly active autoantigens can be used at very low concentrations in ELISA, down to 10-100ng/well, offering a cost effective source for your diagnostic needs.

Both linear and conformation-dependent autoantibody epitopes are detected with high sensitivity.

Authentic native material

Utilising native sourced material where possible ensures your reagents have the correct post-translational processing along with the correct tertiary and quaternary structure.

In some assays this is essential for the detection of conformation-dependent autoantibodies. Our human neutrophil purified autoantigens offer the most authentic autoantibody targets.

Animal sourced autoantigens also possess structure authenticity, and high degrees of homology to the human sequence.

Highly specific

Using active immunoabsorption procedures, result in our highly pure products being highly specific, by removing potentially interfering components where necessary.

Strict quality control measures ensures our products are free of other proteins which could lead to false positive results.

Lot-to-lot consistency

Consistency of lots is of utmost importance. 
Our strictly qualified native raw materials provide a reliable and reproducible source material.

Validated production processes are subjected to continuous in-process quality control resulting in the consistent high-end product produced at AROTEC.

Each new lot is rigorously tested to ensure they conform to our internal gold-standard references.

Volume

We can produce autoantigen lots from analytical (a few milligrams) to bulk (approaching grams) amounts.

Stability

Our autoantigens exhibit outstanding stability characteristics and show no significant loss of activity over several years when stored appropriately.

Availability

Except under exceptional circumstances we maintain high inventory levels of our complete product range thereby ensuring punctual delivery.

Value

Outstanding reactivity per milligram of AROTEC antigen, combined with all of the above qualities, offers customers a stable supply of the best value autoantigens.
