Breaking Through Research Bottlenecks: Starter Domestic Antibodies as Your Reliable Scientific Partner Amid Escalating Tariffs
On April 2nd, U.S. President Trump signed two executive orders establishing a 10% "baseline tariff" on all trading partners, with additional tariffs up to 34% imposed on China and several other countries. By April 8th, the tariff rate on Chinese imports to the U.S. was further increased to 84%. Amid these escalating trade tensions, researchers worldwide are facing significant challenges from rising costs of reagents and consumables. Starter, a leading domestic antibody manufacturer, stands ready to be your steadfast research partner, offering tariff-free solutions with our premium-quality antibodies.
A New Benchmark in Domestic Alternatives: Internationally Certified Quality Overcoming Import Antibody Challenges
As international trade conflicts intensify, imported antibodies face three major challenges: high costs, elevated transportation risks, and prolonged delivery times. Starter's R&D team, with fifteen years of expertise in antibody development, has established comprehensive technological capabilities spanning from antibody cloning to industrial-scale production. Leveraging our proprietary rabbit single B-cell antibody platform, recombinant protein expression system, pathology-grade IHC development platform, and eight validation systems (including flow cytometry, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry), we have successfully developed over 5,000 antibody products. Our manufacturing facilities are certified under EU Directive 98/79/EC, ISO9001, and ISO13485 standards, with product performance validated by global clients as meeting international premium standards. Compared to imported antibodies, Starter products deliver equivalent sensitivity and specificity while reducing costs by 30-50% and shortening delivery times to 2-4 weeks, ensuring your research progresses unimpeded by tariff fluctuations or logistics delays.
