Cell Line
Development Kit

Streamline and expedite your cell line development process.

OVERVIEW
A Next Generation Solution That Streamlines and Expedites the Cell Line Development Process

Select high-titer clones and the best cells, significantly increasing your productivity when 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. Recover clones of interest with over 99% monoclonality and enable efficient selection of clones with favorable product quality attributes within just 5 days of cloning. This translates to cost savings, higher success rates, and shorter timelines for scaling up the top-performing clones.
