Product news

The MaxCyte STX Scalable Transfection System provides an ideal solution for rapidly expressing a large number of antibodies or proteins in the required quantities for use in screening and other preclinical drug development applications. The MaxCyte STX uses flow electroporation to reproducibly transfect an array of cell types, including CHO, HEK, insect cells, and other cell types commonly used for protein production.

The MaxCyte STX is a fully scalable instrument. It can transfect from 5x105 cells in seconds, up to 1x1010 cells in less than 30 minutes using pre-loaded electroporation protocols optimized for maximum protein production. The MaxCyte STX presents a practical solution to the time, labor and cost challenges faced when relying exclusively on stable cell lines for antibody or protein production. This system can produce proteins faster and at a lower cost than stable cell lines allowing users to more effectively focus their limited resources.

To learn more about the bioprocessing and antibody production capabilities of the MaxCyte STX, visit the stands at several upcoming conferences, where questions can be answered and product demonstrations can be seen.

Conferences include:

10th Conference on Protein Expression in Animal Cells (PEACe)
September 25-29, 2011
Cascais, Portugal

PEGS Europe
October 11-13, 2011
Hannover, Germany

AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Protein PurificationProtein purification is a vital step in drug discovery, therapeutics, biotech and life science research. The purification process typically involves subcellular or membrane protein extraction with cell lysis kits, separation of proteins from cell debris by filtration or spin columns, and the isolation of proteins of interest from other proteins and impurities with affinity purification (including fusion protein tags and antibody binding proteins A, G and L), immunoprecipitation or chromatographic methods, such as ion exchange, size exclusion and immobilized metal affinity chromatography. All purification methods come in multiple formats for your laboratory needs, including agarose or magnetic beads, resins, columns and filter plates. Find the best protein purification equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Clinical TrialsClinical Trials, an essential part of drug discovery process, assess the safety and effectiveness of a new medication or device in the pharmaceutical industry. Clinical Trials are a phased process (Phase 0, Phase I, Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV) which begins after initial preclinical testing.Antibody ProductionAntibody production is essential for a wide range of applications in biochemistry and immunology. Ensuring high-quality monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are produced is key.
