CST Guide:

Preface
“While science is our business,
as a private company, we can
focus on doing things beyond
making money.”
Dr. Michael J. Comb, PhD
As a company of scientists for scientists, all of us here at CST are working hard to help you be successful at
the bench. Over the years we have built information resources to assist you in your research, including the
PhosphoSitePlus ® PTM database, signaling pathway diagrams, and now this guide. As the CST website has
taken over the daily function of finding, ordering, and learning about our products, we are phasing out the
catalog but still wanted to continue to provide a resource to assist you in your daily research activities. We
hope you find that this guide fulfills that goal. It represents the combined experience of many scientists both
within and outside of CST.
I hope you can appreciate that we are a different sort of company. Our goal is not to source every possible
antibody product or to sell products that we have little, if any, knowledge as to whether or not they work.
Instead, we focus on producing products in-house so that we can rigorously validate them to ensure that
they will work as you expect them to. To do this, we have invested heavily in validation and cutting edge
antibody technologies in order to bring you products of the highest possible quality. We have a large team
of PhD scientists who build and validate our products, and I encourage you to reach out to them as another
valuable resource we provide.
As a private company, we are not driven by quarterly profits. In fact, our goals extend far beyond making
money; instead, we want to help our customers advance biomedical research. This gives our employees
freedom to be creative in their workplace, the ability to give back to the local community, and to embrace
policies and philosophies that are consistent with environmentally responsible views of the world. We’re
passionate about our mission and excited about partnering with you on the journey ahead. We believe in
a shared goal—to understand biology at the cellular and molecular level in order to free us of devastating
diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. I’m personally looking very much forward to the next chapter. I hope
you’ll join us.
Warm regards,
