Automated clone screening system accelerates biologic drug discovery
Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, a global leader in laboratory automation and innovation and a part of Danaher Corporation, has unveiled the Cydem VT Automated Clone Screening System, a high-throughput microbioreactor platform designed to revolutionize automated top clone screening for biologic drug discovery.
The Cydem VT System significantly accelerates the biologic drug development process by reducing manual steps in Cell Line Development by up to 90% in a single experiment, while eliminating the need for many traditional screening steps. This reduction in labour-intensive processes significantly shortens time to market for monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics.
By providing early insights into cell growth and productivity, the Cydem VT System offers more reliable clones and optimised cultivation conditions that closely replicate biomanufacturing production. It is particularly suited for cell line development of Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell lines used in monoclonal antibody production.
“Our Cydem VT System offers a breakthrough in expediting critical research therapies for diseases like autoimmune conditions and cancer,” said Dr Sebastian Hofzumahaus, Product Manager. “We understood the challenges of selecting productive clones and developed a solution that confidently identifies the best clones, streamlining the process and reducing the risk of poor clones. By providing earlier answers and
improved cultivation conditions, the Cydem VT System accelerates the path to discovering the next medical breakthrough.”
Integrating Beckman Coulter Life Sciences’ trusted technologies, the system combines microbioreactor capabilities, liquid handling, antibody titre, and cell health measurements into a single advanced platform. It enables parallel pH-controlled, fed-batch cultivation and monitoring of up to 96 bioreactors with individual gassing. Automated operations offer at least three days of walk- away time, while online, non-invasive pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and biomass measurements ensure precise control over critical cultivation parameters. On-deck determination of cell concentration, viability, and titre concentration enables confident selection of the best clones.

ilmt.co/PL/O3q1 63792pr@reply-direct.com Advanced infrared imaging microscope for pharma and life science applications
Bruker Corporation has introduced the LUMOS™ II ILIM, a quantum cascade laser (QCL)-based infrared imaging microscope that sets new benchmarks in speed and resolution. Designed to meet the needs of pharmaceutical and life science researchers, the LUMOS II ILIM enables ultrafast infrared imaging of large sample areas with exceptional spatial detail.
The microscope incorporates a patented coherence reduction technology that minimises artifacts in both transmission and reflection modes, delivering artifact-free infrared laser imaging. With a large field of view and full automation, it facilitates rapid analysis of complex biological tissues.
Dr Guillaume Mabilleau, Clinical Bone Pathologist at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Angers, France, commented: “The speed and quality of infrared imaging provided by this microscope are remarkable. Its ease of use and high throughput, powered by QCL technology, mark a significant advancement in clinical research. We are excited about the potential applications in improving the diagnosis and treatment of bone diseases.”
The LUMOS II ILIM leverages AI-driven data evaluation to advance research in pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and disease studies. Its integration with Bruker’s MALDI Imaging technology enables multimodal tissue characterisation with deeper analytical insights. Additionally, the system is well-suited for pharmaceutical tablet inspection and particle identification, offering automated sampling capabilities.
For added flexibility, the LUMOS II ILIM includes a Python interface, allowing users to customise workflows to meet specific research needs. More information online:
