Development Kit

Compress your cell line development timeline

OVERVIEW

A Next Generation Solution on the Beacon® Platform that Compresses the Cell Line Development Timeline

With the Cell Line Development kit for the Beacon platform, you can select productive, high-quality clones, significantly streamlining your clone selection process compared to traditional methods. Boost your throughput by up to 4 times, while reducing the development timeline by up to 50%, enabling quicker market entry. This translates to cost savings, higher success rates, and shorter timelines for scaling up the top-performing clones.
