Benefits of Biologics Discovery Software for Hit Selection and Screening

Common Benefits of Adopting Biologics Discovery Software

For most biotechs, efficiently discovering quality candidates more, through screening and characterization workflows, is a highly impactful outcome for accelerating an R&D pipeline. Various types of biologics discovery software can be used to optimize and accelerate the iterative cycles involved in these discovery operations. Each organization is unique with their own set of challenges and areas for improvement. However, most can see some common benefits by using biologics discovery software. These include:

Centralized and Structured Data Management:

Biologics discovery software can serve as a unified hub of experimental results, sample information, bioregistry entities, libraries, plate layouts and more. The software provides the data structure, organization and accessibility required to efficiently conduct antibody screening and hit selection by providing a unified platform to track, analyze, and interpret data.

Sample Tracking and Traceability:

Antibody discovery software facilitates the tracking of samples from their creation through various iterations of discovery workflows and stages. This ensures traceability and sample/data integrity throughout the process. Ultimately, robust sample management and tracking enhances the reliability of experimental data, tracking of material used and contributes to the efficiency of hit selection.

Plate Management for High Throughput Screening:

Screening involves managing a multitude of plates with diverse contents and experimental conditions. Biologics discovery software streamlines plate management by offering tools for designing, tracking, and analyzing plates. Scientists can accelerate the pace of screening cycles by efficiently managing plate layouts, recording experimental parameters, and monitoring the progress of screening campaigns. 

Data Integration for Analysis and Informed Decision-Making:

Accurate hit selection requires a holistic understanding of all experimental data, the components involved, analyses and their relationship to one another. Biologics discovery software merges diverse data sources and provides analytical tools so that researchers have a comprehensive view of the screening process to make informed decisions. 

Enhanced Collaboration and Communication:

Biologics discovery software improves research collaboration by providing real-time communication and data-sharing among researchers. Teams can share data, track progress, and discuss findings within the system. This enhanced data accessibility accelerates decision-making, reducing the overall time required for decision-making.

 

How Can a LIMS Help Accelerate Antibody Discovery?

Although many types of biologics discovery software can be used by biotechs, LIMS software is often the cornerstone of many biotherapeutic R&D operations. In fact, the right LIMS system can provide all of the benefits previously listed. In the complex and fast-paced world of antibody discovery, LIMS software can be critical in efficiently managing data, samples, and plates. 

Biologics LIMS centralizes and integrates data, ensures sample traceability, manages plates and streamlines screening and hit selection workflows. By providing structure and organization to antibody discovery operations, Biologics LIMS improves the speed of processes and lays the foundation for more informed and reliable analyses.
