Choosing a better cell line
Article Abstract:
The North Brunswick, New Jersey-based biotech startup, has developed a technique for screening 12,000 cells per second using a novel reagent and an automated cell sorter that identifies the cells lines with the highest expressors and precise genes of interest. It is described that the identification of the high-producer cell lines is a tedious and time-consuming proposition, which requires the screening of hundreds, even thousands of cell lines.
