APPLICATION NOTE

Historically, antibody-drug conjugation was performed solely by drug developers, occasionally in collaboration with contract research organization (CRO). The cost of these services can be prohibitive for academia institutions and small biotech companies. During the screening stages, researchers often need to prepare various ADCs with different antibodies and drugs.

CellMosaic's ADC PerKits® are designed to prepare antibody-drug conjugates through surface amines or reduced thiols. Some kits are applicable for general payloads with specific functional groups, while others provide selected standard linker molecules conjugated to a chosen payload. Each kit includes the necessary reagents and protocols for attaching the selected payload to the customer’s antibody and purifying the final ADC. Customers only need to supply their antibody and standard lab equipment. 

A typical CellMosaic personalized ADC kit yields approximately 2-3 mg of final ADC in buffer, with an average Drug-to-Antibody Ratio (DAR) of 2-4. Purity levels are typically >90%, with less than 5% unreacted payload remaining. Individual results may vary depending on the specific antibody system you are using and the hydrophobicity of your payload. The kit instructions are comprehensive and easy to follow, and the procedure can typically be completed within 4 to 6 hours, requiring less than 1 hour of hands-on time.

CellMosaic launched the first ADC PerKit® on its website in 2017, the first kit of its kind on the market. Since then, we have continuously enhanced the platform to make it more robust and easy to use. As of February 2026, 187+ organizations worldwide have used CellMosaic’s ADC kits and related reagents.

See the publications using CellMosaic's ADC PerKits® below.

Other products on the market for antibody screening may use a general secondary antibody or a general antibody affinity coupling (such as protein-A) to provide indirect conjugation. However, these indirect conjugation approaches can significantly affect the hydrodynamic size and physiological behaviors of ADCs (e.g., altering cleavage and degradation mechanisms). As a result, these products do not provide a fully representative approach for evaluating your novel ADC in screening or proof-of-concept (POC) studies.

AqT® ADC Drug Development & Manufacturing

When conventional linkers fail to enable drug conjugation or when the therapeutic efficacy of an ADC is hindered by payload limitations, CellMosaic has developed a breakthrough solution: AqueaTether® (AqT®) linkers. These super-hydrophilic, high-loading linkers are designed to enhance payload solubility, stability, and conjugation efficiency, overcoming key challenges in ADC development.
