Leading Phage Display

We understand the importance of using high-quality libraries for biopanning experiments and the complexity of designing successful phage display affinity selections. Whether you are exploring new avenues of discovery or expanding existing ones, Cell Origins has the experience and resources to help you achieve your scientific goals. Having decades of experience and expertise in phage display technology, we strive to provide the best solutions for other scientists. With our phage display products and services, you can spend less time and cost on your affinity selections and instead focus on leveraging your selected peptides and antibodies.

Premade and Customized Phage Display Libraries

At Cell Origins, we understand that peptide and antibody discovery can be a challenge. To help overcome these challenges, we are dedicated to providing high-quality phage display libraries that are rigorously controlled to obtain the lowest rate of stop codons and other unintended sequences. We offer newly created libraries of validated high quality and diversity, as well as access to the original libraries by Nobel prize winner, Dr. George Smith.


Our custom libraries are made with built-in options for post-selection analysis such as biotinylation, expression of soluble ligands, affinity isolation, and more. This allows you to get the most out of your peptide or antibody phage display library and get the best results. Our experts are here to help you every step of the way, ensuring that you get the most optimal phage display library for your needs.

Tailored Affinity Selections for Unique Project Needs

At Cell Origins, we understand that each project is unique and requires customized protocols to meet its individual needs. We're at the forefront of utilizing phage display technology to provide exceptional biopanning services for peptide and antibody discovery.


Our customized protocols are designed to meet the unique needs of each project. We offer tailored affinity selections that begin with gaining in-depth knowledge of each target molecule or tissue to design a customized phage display biopanning protocol based on our unique multi-tiered approach. Our strategies yield proven results both in vitro and in vivo, ensuring that our clients receive quality solutions to unlock their drug discovery projects.

Advanced Peptide and Antibody Screening

Biomolecular interactions among proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids play a crucial role in biological processes. However, accurately capturing these interactions in the lab is challenging and can lead to misidentification and failure to identify hit molecules. At Cell Origins, we overcome these challenges by developing customized in vitro, in situ, or in vivo protocols for each screening procedure, ensuring the identification of the best peptides and antibodies. 


At Cell Origins, we also employ our own novel approach to high-throughput screening of phage-displayed peptides and antibodies. Our novel method guarantees rapid production and purification of phage particles followed by unique biomolecular interaction analysis with 10-100x increased sensitivity compared to conventional methods.

The Vectors that Built Phage Display

In phage display technology, vectors are invaluable tools for introducing foreign genetic material into host cells, facilitating the propagation of DNA molecules, and for the production of phage virions. 


Years prior to pioneering phage display technology. Dr. George P. Smith developed bacteriophage cloning vectors. Since then, the vectors have been utilized to create numerous phage display libraries of both peptides and antibodies. 


Cell Origins carries the original bacteriophage vectors created by Dr. George Smith. We also offer customized bacteriophage and phagemid vectors with built-in tagging and analysis options to streamline your phage display procedures. 

Straight-Forward Library Amplification

As a leader in phage display technology, we understand the importance of amplifying stable libraries without losing ligand expression or library diversity.  


Cell Origins provides E. coli strains and detailed protocols for the most optimal amplification of peptide and antibody phage display libraries.
