Therapeutic antibodies are
now the predominant class of new drugs. Advancing safe, effective antibodies to the clinic requires narrowing a pool of thousands of candidates using igh-throughput microplate-based assays. Designing plate maps for these assays using Excel or outdated digital tools is a time-consuming task prone to error, slowing the screening process and leading to critical errors in data analysis. Using LIMSense, a modern LIMS from AduroSys, can improve data quality, reduce costs, and ensure the most effective antibodies reach patients.
