In this article, Technology Networks explores how next-generation tools and techniques are accelerating antibody discovery by overcoming key challenges associated with traditional screening methods.
Experts from Sphere Fluidics*, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Sino Biological discuss the integration of high-throughput technologies, microfluidics, antibody engineering, and AI/ML-driven tools in improving screening accuracy, speed, and cost-efficiency.
Traditional antibody screening – through phage display or hybridoma methods – is limited by low throughput, false results, and inefficiencies. New solutions, including automated and multiplexed microfluidics platforms, advanced antibody libraries, and AI-assisted design, are helping researchers better identify rare, high-affinity antibody candidates earlier and with less resource expenditure.
Maryam Ahmadi, Director of Science
“Recent advancements in microfabrication and engineering have steered in a new era of single-cell isolation and analysis technologies… enriching the pool of therapeutic candidates.”
Key Notes
High-throughput screening platforms improve speed and efficiency across both primary and secondary antibody screens.
Microfluidics enables miniaturized, single-cell antibody screening with reduced reagent use and enhanced clone detection.
Advanced antibody engineering techniques improve drug-like properties such as affinity, stability, and specificity.
A synergistic approach that combines computation with biology is essential for real-world application and success.
