Berkeley Lights takes Beacon workflow tech to China

Berkeley Lights has opened an office in Shanghai to expand the reach of its automated biological workflow platform for cell line development and antibody discovery. The office, located in Pudong, Shanghai, will provide Berkeley Lights regional marketing and pre-sales service in China and the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. The decision to open an office in the region reflects the importance of the Chinese market for the bioprocessing space, said Yue Geng, head of Asia Pacific at Berkeley Lights. “China represents…

Gyrolab Immunoassays: Streamlining Workflows Through Automation

Immunoassays and other types of ligand-binding assays are widely used in the development of monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics to measure antibody titers and support downstream purification processes by tracking impurities such as host cell proteins (HCPs) and leakage of protein A from affinity chromatography columns. While scaled down bioprocess development models and high-throughput testing generate large numbers of samples for analysis, immunoassays remain largely manual in many companies, resulting in high assay variability and low productivity. In contrast, automated immunoassays…
