Accessibility Statement
Antibody.CiteZero — https://ab.citezero.org
AB-UK Ltd. is committed to making Antibody.CiteZero accessible, in line with the EU Web Accessibility Directive / European Accessibility Act and the equivalent expectations under the US ADA.
Conformance status
Antibody.CiteZero is conformant with WCAG 2.2 level AA, on the basis of the self-evaluation described below. "Conformant" means the content fully conforms to the standard.
What we did
The app is built with programmatic labels on all form controls; keyboard-operable accordions and dialogs (with focus management and Escape); a visible keyboard-focus indicator; status messages announced to assistive technology through a live region; page landmarks and a skip-to-content link; sufficient colour contrast (text at least 4.5:1, controls and borders at least 3:1); a minimum 24×24 px target size; and responsive reflow down to 320 px. The antibody and reagents data tables use a contained horizontal scroll, which WCAG 1.4.10 permits for content that requires a two-dimensional layout.
How we evaluated it
Conformance was assessed by self-evaluation (not an independent third-party audit), using:
- automated testing with axe DevTools and Lighthouse (accessibility category);
- code-level review against the WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria;
- programmatic UI tests for labelling, keyboard operability, dialog semantics and the live region;
- manual keyboard-only and reflow testing;
- manual screen-reader testing with VoiceOver on macOS (Chrome), in July 2026.
Known limitations
No known conformance gaps at the date of this statement. Testing to date covers one assistive technology (VoiceOver on macOS with Chrome); behaviour on other assistive technologies has not been separately verified.
