Saporin Conjugates

Targeted SAP conjugates are powerful and specific lesioning agents used in the technique known as Molecular Surgery ZAP conjugates are non-targeted saporin conjugates that “piggyback” on to your primary targeting agent Controls are a vital part of the scientific procedure. These control conjugates are the same molecular weight, consist of similar, comparable materials and are
