How It Works

We take your antibody sequences as input, perform wet lab workflows in high-throughput, and return AI-ready datasets as output. We synthesize, express, and purify the antibodies, perform broad biophysical characterization, analyze and integrate the data, and return an AI-ready dataset to you.

We offer multiple biophysical readouts at scale

DATA PACKAGE

  • 246 IgGs were characterized by the biophysical assays listed below.

  • Data readouts are reported for each antibody that was tested for each assay and passed quality control criteria for that assay.

  • Data is available in a tidy data format

ANTIBODY PRODUCTION

Antibodies were expressed in HEK293F and purified using Protein A chromatography prior to developability assessment for all assays. Antibodies tested on DLS-kD went through an additional polishing SEC step. A smaller subset of antibodies (20 IgGs) was produced in ExpiCHO and purified using Protein A chromatography.
