EMERYVILLE, Calif., Nov. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Berkeley Lights, Inc. (BLI), a company dedicated to bringing to market transformational platforms for biopharmaceutical processes, announced today that Teva Pharmaceuticals Australia, Pty. Ltd. has implemented BLI's Beacon platform in their antibody discovery programs.
The Beacon platform is capable of screening thousands of antibody producing cells in less than a day. Cell characterizations are performed through a variety of serial or multiplex fluorescence assays to determine antibody binding, affinity, and functional response. Individual cells with the desired characteristics are selected and exported for genomic profiling. All of these functions are automated and are performed with minimal hands on time by researchers.
"Technology, deep learning, and automation are driving rapid advances in biological processes to accelerate science forward," said Eric Hobbs, PhD, CEO at BLI. "At Berkeley Lights, our mission is to marry engineering and biology in our Beacon platform to help automate manual lab workflows to speed discovery and the development of new therapeutics."
