Advancing drug development with function-focused profiling at the single-cell level

Single-cell sequencing is a valuable tool in drug discovery, allowing the exploration of molecular pathways and cellular behavior. Although this technique can unlock discovery pathways for various diseases, it also has its own limitations, such as variability in encapsulation, inflexibility in droplet control, and random cell distribution.

Explore how the Lightcast platform overcomes these challenges, as it combines step emulsification, machine learning, and optical electrowetting-on-dielectric (oEWOD) technology to enable real-time, direct functional analysis of single cells. Discover how this function-focused approach has the potential to accelerate drug discovery by providing precise functional insights, enabling the early identification of promising candidates and eliminating suboptimal targets.
