new/era/mabs redefines antibody discovery
what's in it for you?
new/era/mabs GmbH is a privately financed biotech company with a proprietary technology platform for the generation of monoclonal and recombinant antibodies for use in research, diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
We provide high-end antibody discovery workflows four times faster than conventional state-of-the-art processes. The platform core component is selma - a highly flexible selection process for antibody-producing cells based on novel transgenic fusion cell lines.
We offer the customized generation and production of mouse, camelid, and human antibodies for various in vitro and in vivo applications. We permanently expand our R&D segment with next-generation platform add-ons and hold all intellectual property rights as different patent families.
Founded in 2014 as an university spin-off located at the Potsdam Science Park the company is embedded in a vibrant scientific environment.
Are you ready to enter a new era of antibody generation?

selma
our groundbreaking technology
Antibodies are wonderful and reliable tools but the generation so far is tedious and resource intensive. Selecting suitable antibodies is highly complex. When using selma as selection tool you can absolutely rely on having a fast, efficient and highly flexible technology to select your desired antibody producing cell.

murine monoclonal antibodies
The induction of specific antibody responses in mice is performed by immunizing with the antigen of choice. To increase the efficacy of this process we developed a hyper-immunization protocol based on viral carrier proteins. In combination with selma as selection tool we provide a high end solution for the discovery of antibody producing hybridoma cells four times faster than with conventional methods.

human monoclonal antibodies
We use a fast and reliable workflow for human monoclonal antibodies, too. Human B cells are specifically activated by our proprietary in vitro immunization (IVI). Either customized antigens or our virus-derived antigen carriers are used for the antigen-specific immunization. And, how would you select the desired antibody-producing cells? You are absolutely right if your answer is - selma!

camelid recombinant antibodies
Camelid antibodies were recently spotlighted due to their exclusive properties such as a high temperature stability which would allow workflows without needing a cool chain. This is a very interesting feature for in vitro diagnostic applications. We carry out the generation of either variable heavy chain antibody fragments (15 kDa) or full length heavy chain only antibodies (90 kDa) for the establishment of a specific test environment. We either use our proprietary naïve camelid antibody library or individually created custom immune libraries for identification. Again, antibody-producing mammalian cells are selected with selma.

what our partners are saying?
-
The cooperation with Katja and her team is incredible and helps us to develop our products much faster and with higher efficacy. We are very convinced of the quality of their work and the reliability and passion to solve any custom-related issues.
Prof. Dr. Dirk Roggenbuck
CEO of Medipan and Generic Assays -
Katja and I collaborate in a SARS-CoV2 project where new/era/mabs provides specific camelid antibodies for our test device. I´m very proud to have her on board. Using the antibody specific support from her team will essentially foster the successful implementation of our device.
Prof. Venkatesan Renugopalakrishnan
Harvard Medical School and Northeastern University -
Creating innovative antibodies with new/era/mabs was a snap. Within a few short weeks, we received high affinity purified potent antibodies, allowing our research on auto-immune encephalitis to move forward quickly. Highly recommended!
Prof. Craig Garner
German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases and founder of SPARK Berlin -
I'm very impressed by the technology, Katja and her team developed to select antibody producing cells. I strongly advocate her services.
