Cell Xpress™
Cell Xpress™ is a service that employs LEAP™ to identify, clone and track the growth rates of potential supersecretor cells (e.g., those producing extraordinarily high levels of recombinant therapeutic proteins), very useful for manufacturing customer-specific protein therapeutics.  Supersecretors may be cloned from existing production cell lines or directly from selected, transfected pools.  Customers simply send cells under a protective MTA and we return super-secretors with detailed information on clone history, growth and secretion properties.

Cell Xpress™ Enables Rapid Cloning of Supersecretors. Using LEAP™’s combined imaging and laser processing capabilities in conjunction with a localized antibody capture assay, LEAP™ can identify the few cells producing and secreting antibodies of interest. All other cells can be selectively eliminated, resulting in efficient cloning of cells that yield better biopharmaceutical manufacturing properties.

Cloning of supersecretors could benefit certain companies producing protein therapeutics by:

  • lowering protein production cost;
  • improving success rates for identifying ideal manufacturing cell lines; and/or
  • enhancing overall throughput.

In 2005, Cyntellect exclusively partnered with SAFC Biosciences (a division of Sigma-Aldrich Corporation), enabling SAFC to exclusively offer Cell Xpress™.
