Its product catalog includes VECTASTAIN® ABC kits, VECTASHIELD® Mounting Media, ImmPRESS® Polymer Detection Kits, TrueVIEW® Autofluorescence Quenching Kit, ImmPACT® Substrates and SoluLINK® bioconjugation technology, which allows rapid, reproducible and quantifiable conjugation of all classes of biomolecules.
Vector Lab’s facilities are ISO 9001:2015 certified and its research contributions have been cited in more than 350,000 scientific publications. Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, Vector was founded in 1976 by Dr. Jim Whitehead, who dedicated the company to creating the highest performing products for researchers around the world. That same commitment is present today with the high level of both product and service for which Vector Laboratories is known.
