Fully automated image-based screening and isolation of clones and single cells for antibody discovery
16 Oct 2022The identification and selection of optimal clones that secrete high levels of the desired antibody is one of the critical and time-consuming steps in the antibody discovery process. In this application note, Sartorius shows how using the CellCelector Flex, a fully automated image-based screening and isolation platform, significantly accelerates the process compared to conventional techniques.

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.Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
