We are excited to announce that EnCor Biotechnology Inc has joined the Antibodies Inc family!
Founded in 1999 by Gerry Shaw, EnCor was built on a clear mission: to lead the development and commercialization of unique, well-characterized antibody reagents for academic, biopharmaceutical, and clinical research. Directly cited in over 1,500 publications, EnCor's products are recognized worldwide for their quality and reliability - making them an ideal complement to our expanding catalog.
Deep Expertise in Neuroscience and Cell Biology
EnCor grew directly out of basic research in neuroscience and cell biology, which involved the development of high-quality antibodies. These reagents became widely used allowing researchers to specifically identify cell types, developmental stages, cell structures and pathological alterations, yielding an exceptional portfolio of reliable markers, including:
- Neural Cell Type Markers: e.g. Neurofilament proteins, MAP proteins, GFAP, UCHL1, NSE, IBA, TH and FOX3/NeuN
- Pathology Related Markers: e.g. MAPt (Tau), α-synuclein, TDP43 and Ubiquitin
-
Cellular Structure and Activation Markers: e.g. cFOS, Fibrillarin, Tubulin and HSP60

These reagents and many more are invaluable not only to scientists studying these specific proteins, but also to researchers needing dependable markers for cell identification, structural mapping, and disease research. Every antibody is extensively characterized by western blotting, immunofluorescence on cells and tissues, and immunohistochemistry. Cross-species reactivity is known, and in many cases epitope mapping and kinetic properties are also known. All such data is freely available and thoroughly documented. As the developer of these reagents, EnCor can provide an unusually high degree of input if further information is requested.
What This Means for You
For many years, researchers have relied on EnCor for very well-characterized neuroscience reagents - including monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies, purified proteins and ELISA kits - and more recently, recombinant monoclonal antibodies.
At Antibodies Inc, we share the same commitment to quality. As a primary manufacturer across our family of brands - including Aves Labs, PhosphoSolutions, ImmunoChemistry Technologies, and Biosensis - we know that your research begins with high quality tools developed with uncompromising quality control at every stage of production.
The decision to join Antibodies Inc stems from a shared vision for innovation and quality. As Gerry Shaw, founder of EnCor notes, "EnCor has always believed that researchers should be able to buy unusually well characterized high-quality reagents at reasonable prices from a company that knows how they were made."
By welcoming EnCor to Antibodies Inc, we are expanding our resources to ensure stronger support of the reliable reagents you depend on for your scientific research.
Welcome to the team, EnCor!
