These high quality antibodies can be used in a wide array of immunoassays (ELISA, Western Blot, Immunofluorescence). Kim Laboratories also produces an array of monoclonal antibodies for the detection of pathogens such as Salmonella, S. aureus and E. coli O157:H7. Here in the United States, Kim Laboratories' products have the potential to aid in homeland security by protecting food products and water sources.

Our Vision


In today's global market, borders no longer define commercial and food safety regulations. Food and beverage products move so rapidly across country lines that their safety is not guaranteed by policy alone. Kim Laboratories is the emerging technological leader, ensuring that international and national food products are much safer to consume–improving the quality of our lives.
