Rapid isolation of antigen-specific clones from hybridoma fusions

Abstract

The Genetix ClonePix FL is a powerful way to find and collect antigen-specific clones from hybridoma fusions in a rapid one-step process—shortening the process timeline and allowing parallel interrogation of multiple antigens in the monoclonal antibody discovery process. ClonePix FL automatically screens the entire hybridoma fusion in situ and isolates only antigen-specific clones with the desired immunoglobulin isotype. If the fusion has many antigen-positive clones, then ClonePix FL can selectively collect only the best secretors.
