About Capra Science

Capra Science Antibodies was founded in 2007. Ever since then we have produced custom antibodies crucial to innovations in life science projects, drug development and lifesaving diagnostics. We do this with animal wellbeing as a top priority and deliver high quality antibodies to the whole world out of our purpose-built organic farm in Sweden.

Capra Science Antibodies is the top choice provider of antibody services for over three hundred companies and research groups worldwide. As an example, the top three largest Danish pharma and biotech companies have long-term business relations with Capra Science. Our antibody expertise, high ethical standard, high success rate, quality assurance and discretion are the main reasons why clients choose us as a reliable partner.

Always exploring

Our mission is to produce high-quality antibodies in line with our core values. This means we will always explore new ways of perfecting animal care. It also means we will evolve new methods of generating reliable synthetic antibodies to reduce the use of animals. This is our passion, and this is what we consider moving into the future in the right direction.

Capra Science Antibodies AB is based on a purpose-built organic farm located in southern Sweden in Europe.

Our base

Capra Science Core Team

Dr Lovisa Hessle Bergman, Ph.D.
Founder and Director

Dr. Hessle Bergman holds a Ph.D. in Medical Genetics. She founded Capra Science Antibodies in 2007 and is also the director of operations.

Dr. Hessle Bergman’s profound antibody knowledge and hands-on experience in every step of antibody production is the solid foundation of Capra Science’s reliable and professional services. Her strong expertise, combined with a sincere passion and love for animals, has proven to be a winning concept for clients and animals alike.

To me, this work is both heart and passion. My heart, for the devoted care of our animals. My passion, for the commitment to produce crucial antibodies to be used in research, health care diagnostics and drug development.

I honestly enjoy fulfilling each custom production by combining my team’s vast skills of antibody production with each client’s own expertise. Together we generate the requested unique antibodies, vital to their work.

Dr Viveka Tillgren Ph.D.
Principle Scientist

Dr. Tillgren holds a Ph.D. in Medical Science and has over three decades of experience working with extracellular proteins, including polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, in almost every modern technique that exists today.

One of Dr. Tillgren’s many strengths is her deep understanding and hands-on experience in a broad range of laboratory techniques ranging from vector or peptide design and cloning, through HPLC, to all variants of ELISA. She has a sincere interest in all aspects of immunology and in driving every antibody generation to a successful product.

Working with antibodies and all the aspects of their production is both fascinating and rewarding. I think the beauty of Capra Science Antibodies is our compact organization – holding all our processes safely in-house and making internal decision-making processes short.

I’m truly proud of the incredibly high success-rate we have on the projects we take on.
