Why not license out your antibodies?
SWANT enjoys a very good reputation amongst scientists.
Why? SWANT has licensed some high-quality mono- and polyclonal antibodies from pioneer researchers and their institutions.
These licensing cooperation activities help to generate research funds for the licensor's laboratories, since SWANT pays royalties on net sales.
SWANT also relieves the inventors from the burden and expense of packaging, shipping and correspondence with people requesting their antibodies, and furnishes the customer with technical data sheets.
By direct mailing and advertising in journals such as Science, SWANT makes known the researchers work and maximizes the product exposure to the scientific world.
SWANT's world wide distribution ensures that the researchers product becomes available to the global research community.

Would you like SWANT to license your antibodies?
If so, please send us details about your antibody by fax (Fax: +41 91 825 76 08) or e-mail (info@swant.com). A check-list of the information required from you appears at the end of this text.
If SWANT feels that the reagent should be tested in the market (good quality, good performance, relevant market potential), a licensing agreement will be speedily drawn up and sent to you or your institution. If you agree with the conditions, the hybridomas or antisera will be transferred to SWANT and the company will pay a licensing fee. Non-exclusive licenses generate lower fees but do not prevent you from collaborating with other companies.
All SWANT expects from you is your help in establishing a quality control system that guarantees constant product quality for the customers!
