Clone screening systems for monoclonality verification and colony picking
Our solutions for antibody discovery and cell line development provide dedicated, scalable, and easy-to-use products for establishing clonal populations. The systems feature a selection of options and models to address your specific research including multiple imaging modes, biology-specific pins, fluidics, and environmental control. These solutions combine intelligent imaging with analysis and automation to increase throughput, consistency, and provide image-based documentation.
-
Verify monoclonality easily
Objective selection, imaging, and data collection streamlines tracking of colony formation from a single cell.
-
Sort viable single cells efficiently
High accuracy robotics combined with gentle fluidics-based systems establish viable clones with much higher efficiency.
-
Streamline workflows
Automation with sample tracking increases throughput, allows for more walk-away time, and provides consistent results.
