Cell line development (CLD)

Despite advancements in CRISPR and other cell line development technologies, the path from starting cell to a modified one remains long and tricky. What if there is a way to improve and accelerate your cell line development workflow while uncovering any unintended changes to the genome?

Overview

The vulnerabilities of cell line engineering

Given the low success rate of gene editing techniques, screening for successfully edited clones and characterizing the edits could take several months to complete. We are here to make your cell line development process easier and faster.
Gene editing, viral transduction or even routine transfections can cause off-target effects such as chromosomal rearrangements and structural variants, often missed by classical methods like karyotyping and FISH. Choosing your genome assessment method wisely when working with cell line development is indeed an important decision in getting the cell right.
