MIAOLI, Taiwan and EMERYVILLE, Calif., Sept. 9 (Korea Bizwire) — Mycenax Biotech, Inc. (4726.TWO), a pioneer of biopharmaceutical development in Taiwan, today announced its adoption of the Berkeley Lights Platform for cell line development. Berkeley Lights, Inc., (Nasdaq: BLI), a leader in Digital Cell Biology, continues to see adoption of the system in Asia Pacific, as Mycenax becomes the first company in Taiwan to use the technology.
“At Mycenax, we strive to be a leader in comprehensive biologics development with the highest standards of technology and manufacturing,” said Pei-Jiun Chen, Ph.D., CEO of Mycenax. “We are excited to work with the Berkley Lights team to enhance our existing services, and we believe the BeaconⓇ system enables a big jump to the next level of success in cell line development.”
Mycenax develops high-quality cell lines from many different cell types and is transferring their cell line development process for each of these onto the BeaconⓇ Optofluidic System utilizing Berkley Lights Opto™ Cell Line Development workflow. The Beacon system helps Mycenax increase efficiency and flexibility and enhance the quality of its cell line development services for its customers. With the proven reputation of its cell line generation services and its first-in-class R&D team, Mycenax is implementing the Beacon system to find rare, high productivity clones with industry leading monoclonality while shortening its overall timeline for cell line development up to 50%.
