PROGEN Biotechnik GmbH expands portfolio in the cell biology market

PROGEN Biotechnik GmbH, established manufacturer of premium antibodies, has recently acquired the research antibody line of the Dutch company EuroProxima B.V., a global provider of immunobiological test systems.

Dr. Sven Kuhlendahl, General Manager of PROGEN: “It is a pleasure to announce the integration of EuroProxima’s high-class antibodies into our own portfolio of over 500 antibodies. The addition of keratin and hormone antibodies in particular complement our product range substantially. We are now in an excellent position to serve research laboratories worldwide with a broad variety of immunochemical tools.”

PROGEN reaches out to potential partners in its endeavor to further expand its research reagents business. This includes monoclonal and recombinant antibodies as well as immunochemical tests supporting the validity of cell biology experiments. PROGEN serves specifically to today’s urgent customer need for high quality and reliability.

Standing for premium quality, PROGEN’s newly acquired antibodies will adhere to the highest standards that warrant dependable specificity and reproducibility. The acquired product line is already available in the company’s web shop (www.progen.com).
