- HAT selection and cloning of hybridomas are performed in one step, minimizing both the time and the materials required. - Fewer manipulations are required; therefore the possibility of culture contamination is greatly reduced - Large numbers of hybridomas can be selected and tested. More than a thousand clones can be grown in ten 100 mm petri dishes in a single step. - Growth conditions have been optimized to give high plating efficiency ensuring maximum hybridoma yield. - Direct cloning prevents the overgrowth of potentially valuable slow-growing clones. - Hybridoma colonies are monoclonal from the start, so recloning is not necessary. - Plating of the initial fusion mixture and simultaneous cloning are performed in minutes vs. hours when using methods involving suspension cultures and limiting dilutions. - ClonaCell®-HY minimizes the number of clones to be screened for antibody secretion because all daughter cells are found in the same colony. - Estimated savings of 11 - 26 days and 30 - 50% of technician’s work hours. |
