Chondrex Inc.is a one-stop shop for your pre-clinical rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory disease research needs. From reagents to induced experimental disease models to monoclonal antibodies and ELISA kits for analyzing disease models and evaluating experimental therapeutics, Chondrex provides everything you need for pre-clinical immunology research.

About Chondrex Inc.

Chondrex Inc. was founded in 1996 in Redmond (Washington, USA) to manufacture purified collagen for use in the Collagen-Induced Arthritis (CIA) Model, as well as the Arthrogen-CIA® Cocktail Kit for use in the Collagen-Antibody Induced Arthritis (CAIA) Model. Originally focused on products for pre-clinical rheumatoid arthritis research, Chondrex Inc. has since expanded their product line to include experimental disease model induction reagents for a wide variety of inflammatory diseases, including:

Arthritis Models: Collagen-Induced Arthritis, Collagen Antibody-Induced Arthritis, Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis
Allergic Asthma Model: OVA-Induced Asthma, House Dust Mite Induced Asthma, Anti-OVA IgE Induced AsthmaAllergisches Asthmamodell: OVA-induziertes Asthma, Hausstaubmilben-induziertes Asthma, Anti-OVA-IgE-induziertes Asthma

Rat Nephritis (Goodpasture syndrome) Models
Mouse Immune Complex Glomerulonephritis Model
Sepsis

To go along with these disease induction reagents, the company manufactures a variety of monoclonal antibodies against disease specific antigens, and an array of protein ELISAs and Antibody ELISA kits to monitor the progression of experimental disease models. All manufacturing is done at their office in Redmond, Washington.

Since Chondrex Inc. has been purifying collagen for over 20 years, they are also experts in extracellular matrix proteins! Our partner offers many different species and types of purified collagen that can be used for disease induction, 3D cell cultures, and many other applications.
