At the Peptalk 2010, Lab901 announced that its Protein Screentape platform can deliver true, practical at-line monitoring of monoclonal antibody production.
Before now, at-line monitoring of antibody production by SDS Page has been impractical with other existing platforms as the cost-per-test-point is too high or analysis takes too long to be of value.
Lab901 said that with its rapid staining protocol and automated sample handling, electrophoresis and data presentation, the Protein Screentape platform can deliver information on yield, purity and molecular weight within a few minutes.
Samples can be analysed directly from the bioreactor with no need to purify or filter the media.
Analysis of media containing high levels of serum is also possible using Screentape.
