This past February and March, Bruker Cellular Analysis, in partnership with BioProcess International, hosted a dynamic two-part webinar series โ€“ Pushing the Boundaries in Cell Line Development โ€“ spotlighting the capabilities of the Beaconยฎ Optofluidic platform for cell line development (CLD). Now available on demand, these sessions offer a front-row view into how cutting-edge technology is reshaping the CLD process. 

In the opening session, โ€œLight Boxes and Beyond: Maximizing Confidence in Clone Selection Using the Beacon Optofluidic System,โ€ GSKโ€™s Holly Corrigall, Ph.D. shared how her team is using advanced digital tools, custom assays, and AI-driven models to accelerate and de-risk clone selection. From bispecific antibody screening with Spotlightโ„ข reagents to predictive modeling with the Beacon Ranking Tool (BRT), her talk illustrated how GSK is building a โ€œpredict-firstโ€ CLD workflow โ€“ delivering high-confidence clones faster and with fewer resources. 

The second webinar, โ€œThe Physics and Technology Underlying the Beacon Platform for Cell Line Development,โ€ led by Or Gadish, Ph.D. from Bruker Cellular Analysis, dove into the core technology driving these breakthroughs. He provided an inside look at the physics behind the Beacon platform โ€“ highlighting how innovations like Opto-Electropositioning (OEPยฎ), NanoPenยฎ chambers, and real-time, high-precision assays come together to enable fast, traceable, and automated CLD workflows. The result? End-to-end clone selection in as little as six weeks post-single cell cloning. 

Whether youโ€™re working on mAbs, bispecifics, or custom protein formats, this series showcases how the Beacon platform is empowering teams to make faster, smarter, and more confident decisions in CLD.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Donโ€™t miss the chance to watch both sessions on demand and see how the Beacon platform is pushing the boundaries of whatโ€™s possible in CLD.
