You, the life scientist, are the hero destined for great discoveries and inventions. We serve to help you become the overachiever you were meant to be.
With over 30 years in the industry, our foundations always go back to maintaining quality and having a strong integrity to deliver consistent products and services. Providing reliable and high-quality products is our passion. This is our way of helping the life science community thrive, helping more researchers get the best tools to move forward.
In addition to being a reagent manufacturer, we offer easy to work with services in biology and related fields. Our services include analytical, development, and manufacturing of customized biomaterials. We provide you solutions rather than products and help you progress and achieve success.
Founded in 1993 by histologist Steven Xia, Boster Bio is an antibody manufacturing company specializing in high-sensitivity, high-specificity ELISA kits and WB/IHC compatible antibodies.
It all started as a family-owned business. From a poor farming family, Steven Xia was the only one in the village to go to college, and the only one in the county with a PhD.
In early 90s China, he saw an underserved medical and research community and made a difference. It began in a small pickup truck-sized room with no capital. Despite all odds, he developed proprietary reagents for histology, becoming one of the few domestic suppliers of histology reagents when China heavily relied on imports.
Since then, the company has organically grown into one of the top 10 antibody companies globally.
We have spent the last 3 decades perfecting our techniques and technology, and our products have been well-cited in over 50,000 publications. We thoroughly validated our antibodies for IHC, WB, ELISA, and Flow Cytometry to bring you trustworthy products.
We strive to provide the best service and have earned the trust of researchers worldwide. All products are covered by the Boster Quality Guarantee, each product will work as stated in the datasheet or your money back. We are actively developing and launching more products each month.
To ensure you get the best experience possible, our platform brings you simple processes in applying for our services. With swift response from our friendly customer support, you can effortlessly chat and leave a message for any concerns and questions.
We promise a concierge sourcing experience. You will have a project manager who treats your project like his/her own, and aim to provide full end-to-end solutions to help you turn your samples into insights (analytical), and obtain critical reagents for your projects (development and manufacturing).
Ultimately, you, our clients, are the ones who do the hard work, therefore it’s our goal to guide and assist you, and be the hammer that helps you create scientific works of art. It is our honor to be chosen to help you achieve your goals. Doing so is a pleasure for us all.

His friends made fun of him and gave him the nickname “he who converts science in the lavatory”.
Late 90s
In the early days Boster developed various products for IHC and EM.
In late 90s, Boster developed hundreds of primary antibodies, and became the biggest catalog antibody company in China at the time.
Early 2000S
After years of research and development, Boster was able to create a proprietary ELISA platform, PicoKine™.
About a dozen in-house developed trade secretes empower Boster’s high-sensitivity ELISA kits to deliver repeatable results.
2006
In 2006, Boster started to form partnerships with distributors and OEM partners around the globe.
Today Boster products are used around the world by academics and industrial users alike, for WB, IHC, ELISA and Flow.

This Antibody Works Perfectly!
I used it for IHC on frozen sections at a dilution of 1:500. It did not need several trials to optimize the protocol. No bad things overall. I will purchase it again.

Good Zebrafish Antibody For Nlz2
Zebrafish-specific antibody. Used in whole mount IF on 24hpf zebrafish embryos. The signal is not precisely clean, but we do observe nlz2 expression in the ventral region of the retina as expected from in situ hybridization results. This antibody shows some promising results in whole mount applications using 24hpf embryos. Applications with cryosections may be more precise.
