About The Company
Founded by research scientists in 1999, Cell Signaling Technology (CST) is a private, family-owned company that prides itself on operating as a research institute developing quality products for other researchers. Active in the field of applied systems biology research, particularly as it relates to cancer, CST understands the importance of using antibodies.
That's why all of our antibodies are painstakingly validated for multiple applications by our Ph.D. level scientists. And the same CST scientists who helped produce your antibody will also provide technical support, methods, and guidance needed to achieve the most reliable results.
