The AbD
Serotec brand was created in early 2006 to market the combined
products and services of Antibodies by Design, Biogenesis, Serotec,
and Oxford Biotechnology – more than 10,000 antibodies and
immunological reagents, custom monoclonal antibodies developed from
the MorphoSys HuCAL library, and large and small scale antibody
production and conjugation services.
AbD Serotec prides itself on its commitment to providing its customers in research and industry the highest quality products and services, and has a ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 13485:2003 certified production facility in Kidlington, near Oxford UK. This facility is AbD Serotec’s headquarters, and supports sales offices in Raleigh, North Carolina and Duesseldorf, Germany. Custom monoclonal development services are performed at MorphoSys headquarters in Martinsried, near Munich in Germany.

With its
unique HuCAL technology (the Human Combinatorial Antibody Library)
MorphoSys is developing the next generation of antibodies for
treatment of disease and for research and diagnostics purposes.
Numerous partnerships have already been entered into with well-known
companies from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors, such as
Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, Centocor/Johnson & Johnson, Daiichi
Sankyo, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche and Schering.
In early 2003, MorphoSys established Antibodies by Design to provide custom antibody development services to the research and diagnostic markets using its proven HuCAL technology. The speed of this service and the high specificity of the antibodies proved extremely popular in both academia and industry, resulting in the development of more than 4000 custom monoclonal antibodies.
Biogenesis
MorphoSys acquired the Biogenesis group of companies (Biogenesis Ltd in Poole, UK, and Biogenesis Inc in Brentwood, NH, USA) in January 2005 as a vehicle to bring HuCAL antibodies into the catalog antibody market. Biogenesis brought more than 20 years experience in the antibody industry and a large and diverse range of catalog antibodies to the MorphoSys group.
In January
2006, MorphoSys added Serotec to its Research Antibody Division, and
created the AbD Serotec brand. Since its establishment more than 20
years ago, Serotec has earned a strong position in the global market
for research antibodies with direct sales operations in the UK, USA,
Germany, France, and Scandinavia, distributors in more than 55
countries, and a large portfolio of antibodies and custom services.
Oxford Biotechnology (OBT)
Acquired with
Serotec in January 2006, OBT was an internet-based antibody sales
company, with customers all over the world. The OBT product
portfolio is now also part of the AbD Serotec offering.
