Expert view: The path to the high-hanging fruit: access to greater diversity and rapid down-selection

As we turn to more difficult targets, such as G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels, two capabilities are crucial for success: access to greater antibody diversity and the ability to rapidly identify functional lead candidates. The Opto Plasma B Discovery 2.0 Workflow addresses both of these needs by providing access to broad B cell diversity and rapid down-selection of leads in an automated workflow run on the Beacon^® platform.
