Acris Antibodies

Acris Antibodies is a life science research tools company focused on supplying antibodies and related reagents for research, diagnostic, and biopharmaceutical customers. The business originated in Germany and built a large catalog of primary antibodies, secondary antibodies, proteins, lysates, ELISA kits, and custom antibody-related services. Acris developed an online database to help researchers identify suitable antibodies for specific applications and expanded internationally, including operations in the United States. In October 2015, Acris Antibodies GmbH was acquired by OriGene Technologies, and the Acris portfolio appears to have been integrated into OriGene's broader proteomics and antibody offerings while maintaining commercial operations in Herford, Germany. The company is therefore best characterized as a commercial research reagent brand/business within the OriGene organization rather than a therapeutic drug developer.
