Overview
Sandia Biotech is a private, early-stage biotech firm commercializing a novel fluorescent reagent platform called FluorAbodies. These reagents are single-chain variable fragments (ScFvs) genetically fused to fluorescent proteins, designed to overcome limitations of conventional antibody conjugates in research and diagnostics. The company appears to be in an early commercial phase, generating revenue through direct sales of its catalog products, with a primary focus on oncology biomarkers like HER2 and EphA2. Leadership includes co-founder and President Tony Pino, though the full team is not detailed on the public website.
Technology Platform
FluorAbody platform: recombinant single-chain variable fragments (ScFvs) genetically fused to fluorescent proteins, creating intrinsically fluorescent probes with a 1:1 fluorophore-to-epitope ratio for quantitative biomarker analysis.

Risk Factors
Competitive Landscape
Sandia Biotech competes in the broad research antibodies market against dominant players like Thermo Fisher Scientific, Abcam, Bio-Rad, and Cell Signaling Technology. Its differentiation is technological (quantitative, monovalent ScFv-fluorescent protein fusions), but it lacks the vast catalog and distribution reach of incumbents. In diagnostics, it would compete with IVD giants such as Roche, Agilent/Dako, and Abbott, who have entrenched positions and fully validated, regulated assay systems.
