Cell Panel Screening Services

Discovery extended with quality, actionable data

High-throughput cell panel screening is a key drug development tool for identifying sensitive or resistant tumor types and genomic features governing response.

At Revvity, we have extensive experience in high-throughput phenotypic screening and drug profiling across large panels of cancer cell lines to provide efficacy and toxicity data for lead oncology therapeutics. As an extension of your team, we can study drug response by identifying sensitive and resistant cells, aid patient stratification for drug candidates and combinations, and perform bioinformatics analysis that links molecular features with phenotypic response.

Why use cell panel HTRF assay for drug discovery?

Understanding how and why different cancer types respond to therapy by studying the various molecular interactions and signaling pathways that underlie mechanisms of cancer development and progression is crucial for designing effective therapeutics. HTRF assays offer a way to study key disease processes, including GPCRs, kinases, epigenetics, protein-protein interactions and the quantification of a wide range of biomarkers and cytokines to help you understand your drug’s therapeutic effect.

Main applications of OncoSignature HTRF assay screening service:

  • Correlate inhibitor responses with underlying pathway activation
  • Confirm MOA and on-target activity of single agents and novel combinations
  • Better understand factors driving sensitivity and resistance for more effective patient stratification
  • Study drug effect on biomarkers associated with tumor growth and survival

Long-term cell panel screening with 2D OncoSignature assay

Profile slow-acting or epigenetic therapeutics over a prolonged period

Epigenetics offers the opportunity to identify new therapeutic targets for novel drug discovery and is a key area for cancer research.

Profile slow-acting or epigenetic therapeutics over a prolonged period

Epigenetics offers the opportunity to identify new therapeutic targets for novel drug discovery and is a key area for cancer research.

Epigenetic agents are typically studied using cellular assays and require longer time points to see their full effects. Conventional 3–6-day assay windows may not offer the resolution needed to identify or resolve the full cellular response. In addition, by using long-term assays in combination with other cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy, effectiveness can be improved. Our 2D OncoSignature Long-Term Assay drug discovery service profiles slower-acting drugs in 384-well plates for 10 days across a diverse, biologically relevant panel of 248 cell lines.

Our long-term assay service has been carefully designed by screening experts, and stringent controls have been applied to reduce potential variability and deliver reliable results in fast turnaround times. We test your agents in an optimized platform specifically designed for slower-acting agents and epigenetic targets to help identify potential therapeutics.

Key advantages of our long-term cell panel screening services:

  • Fully automated high throughput screening platform.
  • Continual screening cycle, flexible onboarding and compound submission.
  • Fast turnaround times, 248 cell lines in 5 months.
  • Dedicated project manager, simple project initiation with regular project updates and interim data.
  • Detailed final report, raw data files.
  • High quality data analysis, reliable and reproducible.

Applications of long-term assays:

  • Study drug response by identifying sensitive and resistant cells at higher resolution.
  • Aid patient stratification for your drug candidate or drug combination.
  • Speed development of certain classes of long-acting drugs by identifying drug combinations over extended time points.
