Automated Cellular Screening and Characterization of Therapeutic Antibodies for Antibody-Dependent Cell-Mediated Cytotoxicity Utility
13 Jun 2012This note demonstrates the automation of two HTRF® assays for the characterization and selection of potent antibody drug candidates. The first assay quantifies the binding affinity of antibodies to their target antigen, on live cells. The second assay measures the affinity of the antibody Fc portion to the CD16 receptor also on live cells.

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
