Beacon Select™ Optofluidic System for Antibody Discovery Product Description
Introducing the Beacon Select™ Optofluidic System from Bruker: A state-of-the-art system dedicated to revolutionizing the antibody discovery process. This system is specifically designed to expedite the discovery of antibody leads by streamlining and enhancing the efficiency of identifying potent antibody sequences.
Advanced Optofluidic Technology: The Beacon Select™ leverages the power of the Opto® B Discovery workflows, combining high-throughput screening with precise, function-first assays. This integration significantly reduces the time required to identify lead candidates, even against the most challenging targets, with a process that can be completed in just 1-2 weeks.
Features and Benefits:
- Target Rare Antibodies: Uncover antibody sequences against elusive targets that are often beyond the reach of conventional methods.
- Tailored Discovery: Customize your approach to target and isolate high-affinity molecules and functional blockers, enhancing the specificity and efficacy of your antibody leads.
- Enhanced Hits and Diversity: Discover up to 10-fold more antibody hits and access 50-fold greater sequence diversity, all while reducing costs significantly compared to traditional methods.
Efficient and Integrated Workflow:
- Rapid Screening and Recovery: Import, assay, and recover lead candidates in a streamlined, single-run process on a unified platform.
- Significant Time Reduction: Reduce antibody discovery (AbD) timelines from months to days by functionally screening B cells in a single day, focusing only on the most promising candidates.
Customizable Assays:
- Versatile Screening Options: Customize assays for both soluble and membrane-bound targets, capable of running sequentially or in multiplex to rapidly identify the best antibodies.
- Simultaneous Multi-Assay Capability: Functionally screen tens of thousands of B cells on a chip simultaneously, leveraging multiple fluorophores and detection molecules for comprehensive analysis.
Optimal Design for Laboratory Use:
- Compact and User-Friendly: The system's design is optimized for ease of use in laboratory settings, requiring minimal space while providing maximum functionality.
- High-Quality Imaging and Analysis: Equipped with up to five color channels plus brightfield imaging, allowing for detailed, real-time analysis of antibody interactions.
Specifications:
- Dimensions: Width: 46 inches, Depth: 34 inches, Height: 71.5 inches.
- Weight: The unit stands free at approximately 1,260 lb.
- Environmental Requirements: Operates optimally between 64 – 79°F with a humidity range of 20 – 60%.
Ideal for Research and Development: Specifically tailored for research purposes, the Beacon Select™ Optofluidic System is not intended for diagnostic procedures, focusing solely on advancing the frontiers of antibody research.
