First, we’d just like to give a quick nod to the teams at Bio X Cell. They’ve built a brilliant company with great products to help life science researchers. 

So what’s the difference between ichorbio and Bio X Cell? 

The founding team at ichorbio wanted to create a company where our main focus is to supply products that have the lowest impact on the animals that they are used in. For us, the welfare of the animals used for in vivo research is the *key* consideration all researchers should take into consideration before beginning their experiments. 

So when we created the company our focus was on creating the highest quality reagents in the industry, and it is our belief that the products we created will directly impact the quality of the results obtained from them.

Looking at the 3Rs, our hope is that our products can improve animal welfare as follows: 

Refinement 

We have made incremental improvements to the purity of our antibodies over those currently in the market and have also worked hard to reduce their aggregation.

Both of these attributes should will help in the Refinement of your animal studies by allowing our antibodies antibodies to act with greater efficacy. 

Reduction 

Our antibodies have the lowest endotoxin on the market which will help with Reduction by positively affecting the wellbeing of your animals.
