This whitepaper summaries recently published studies that incorporated the Incucyte® Live-Cell analysis platform and iQue® 3 Advanced High-Throughput Flow Cytometry. These state-of-the-art technologies were used to simplify workflows and provide rapid analysis solutions and enhanced throughput, aiding the discovery of new insights on the host-pathogen life cycle throughout the course of infection. Post-infection, these platforms were leveraged to monitor exposure, assess immune protection, and accelerate the development of anti-viral small molecules, neutralizing antibodies, and vaccines. The Incucyte® platform offers automated…

A fast and accurate determination of vaccine titer during manufacturing is important in understanding vaccine development process performance, and for correctly scaling each process step. The Single Radial Immunodiffusion (SRID) technique has been the most commonly used technique for vaccine titer determination. However, SRID is time consuming and generally exhibits poor precision. An alternative assay that can speed up the analysis process and provide accurate and precise potency data on different vaccine strains is therefore desirable. The Octet® platform’s Bio-Layer…

Cell line development (CLD) involves the screening of thousands of clones to find those that are stable, produce high yields of the bioproduct and exhibit desired critical quality attributes (CQAs). Typically screening and process optimization activities will be carried out at the small scale in bioreactor cultures to ensure that results translate up to larger bioreactor scales. Performance data is primarily based on cell growth, cell viability, metabolite analysis and product titer, and assessed over the entire culture process duration.…
