Partillion Bioscience Corp. was awarded a $659,037 Project Grant from the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of General Medical Sciences to develop reagent products enabling high-throughput screening and selection of single cells based on secreted bio-products. Under the Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859), Partillion plans to transition its lab-on-a-particle technology—highlighted as a 2020 SLAS Innovation Award winner—into the first reagent product allowing customers to use standard flow sorter machines for selecting producer cell lines secreting antibodies and other recombinant products. The technology utilizes microscale crescent-shaped hydrogel nanovials that capture cells, functionalize to capture secretions, and template millions of uniform drops via simple pipetting and centrifugation steps. This will prevent loss and cross-talk of secretions while enabling flow cytometer sorting of particles and associated cells based on secreted product amounts at rates orders of magnitude higher than current techniques.
