At Columbia Biosciences, we provide scalable, analytically-verified biotin and Sulfo-Tag conjugation services for pharma, CRO, and diagnostic partners. The accuracy of biomolecule labeling, particularly with biotin and Sulfo-Tag reagents, directly impacts assay sensitivity, diagnostic performance, and regulatory compliance. We combine proven conjugation chemistry with rigorous analytical characterization and scalable manufacturing to deliver consistent, high-quality conjugates that meet the demanding needs of our global pharma and CRO clients.

Precision Biotinylation
Biotin conjugation supports a wide array of immunoassays and affinity-based platforms. We maintain strict control over degree of labeling (DoL) and purity to ensure reproducibility at scale.
- In-house control of all variables at our U.S. facility
- Consistent 3-7 biotin/molecule labeling range
- HPLC and LC-MS validation available for every lot
Sulfo-Tag Conjugation for High-Sensitivity Assays
Sulfo-Tag labels offer strong signal-to-noise performance across a variety of high-sensitivity assay platforms. As with biotin, maintaining consistent labeling density and site specificity is critical for scale-up and downstream reproducibility.
- Custom protocols for antibodies and detection proteins
- Batch-to-batch consistency across production runs
- LC-MS and HPLC QC available to confirm Degree of Labeling and residual free label content
Built for Biotech and CRO Demands
- Responsive timelines and expert consultation
- Transparent documentation with every order
- Flexible formats and labeling densities available
- All conjugations performed in the U.S.A. (Frederick, MD)
