[LGC-SeraCare] KPL BacTrace® Bacterial Antigens and Antibodies

 BacTrace comprises KPL’s range of native bacterial antigens and matching primary antibodies. Produced in an ISO13485-certified facility, BacTrace bacterial antigens are grown as whole cells in native culture. Cells are then heat-inactivated and validated in infectivity assays, making them safe-to-use, while presenting a broad range of surface epitopes.

 BacTrace antibodies are generated by inoculating goats with BacTrace bacterial antigens. The resulting polyclonal sera then undergoes a proprietary affinity purification protocol that preserves target antigen affinity while yielding fractions that are highly specific to the pathogen in question. Combined with downstream cross-reactivity testing, BacTrace antibodies benefit from maximal signal-to-noise ratio, while ensuring defined specificity and lot-to-lot consistency.
