Application of Cyto-Mine® in Cell Line Development at Abzena
Faster timelines. Smarter decisions. Greater confidence.
Abzena, a global leader in biologics development and manufacturing, integrated Cyto-Mine® into its AbZelectPRO™ platform and reduced development timelines by 2–3 months
Transforming Cell Line Development Workflows
Abzena, a leading biologics CDMO, wanted to speed up cell line development without sacrificing quality to meet the growing demands of their customers. Traditional workflows were slow, manual, and left too many questions unanswered early on. They turned to Cyto-Mine® and integrated it into their AbZelectPRO™ platform. The result? Early insights into clone performance leading to accelerated paths to clinical and commercial success.
The Challenge
Abzena’s teams need high-performing cell lines fast. But manual processes and limited early data make it hard to predict performance or confirm monoclonality. That means delays, extra work, and uncertainty.
The Solution
Cyto-Mine® automates single-cell screening using picodroplet technology. With it, Abzena can:
- Screen hundreds of thousands of cells in hours
- Confirm monoclonality right at dispensing
- Get early insights into productivity and stability
All before moving into time-intensive stages.
“We’re able to identify the top performing clones right from the start. We’re not waiting until we’ve done the stability studies to understand how a clone behaves – we already know.”
— Dr Brett Verstak, Director of Cell Line Development, Abzena
The Impact
By integrating Cyto-Mine® to its AbZelectPRO™ platform, Abzena:
- Cut timelines by 2–3 months
- Reduced manual steps
- Delivered robust, scalable cell lines with confidence
