Elevating single cell seeding workflows: Delivering proof not probability in monoclonality

Optimize your workflow productivity and get complete confidence in single cell seeding and clonality assurance. VIPS PRO® delivers proprietary artificial intelligence-driven cell recognition for accurate detection of your high-value cells and helps to de-risk your regulatory submission with definitive, imaged-based proof of monoclonality. Labs get high seeding efficiency, certainty of clonality, superior imaging with advanced data management, and GMP-certified features.

Highlighted features
  • High-efficiency single cell seeding 
  • Intelligent cell recognition 
  • Single-use seeding kits 
  • Proof of monoclonality
  • STUDIUS® compatibility

High value cell workflows relying on CHO, HEK and iPSC-derived cells, all start with VIPS PRO

Designed for processes utilizing Master Cell Banks, VIPS PRO combines high performance seeding with the capture of quality evidence of clonality at two different time points providing the best possible start to your process. During the clonal growth phase, VIPS PRO performs daily high-clarity whole well imaging, recording a timeline of well images and performing analysis to measure confluency.

Benefits

Proof of monoclonality, not probability

With VIPS PRO, clonal assurance is based on evidence of a single cell- not statistical probability. VIPS PRO delivers evidence at multiple steps for complete certainty of single cell seeding.

Droplet image of a single cell on day 0

Images of the single cell in the bottom of the dry well are collected as evidence of seeding, after which the sophisticated neural network identifies individual cells, cell aggregates, and other non-cell artifacts.

Single cell whole-well imaging

The timeline of clonal outgrowth continues with high-clarity, whole-well imaging starting at day 0, tracing back to a single cell to confirm monoclonality for confident regulatory submissions. Supported plate types: 384, 96, 48 and 12 well plates.

[With the VIPS PRO], we can trace back the data to the single cell, select from our top 48 cell lines, and report all the information – our proof of monoclonality is already in there, and that’s really nice.

Jolanda Gerritsen

Genmab

The Enhanced Clonality Reports easily generated by the VIPS/Cell Metric software allows us to track both cells and potential debris from first inception of the single cell in the well, to full-grown colonies enabling us to provide our customers with full traceability and audit trail of each cell line we produce for them with a single, well-crafted document.

Camile Evenou

Celonic AG

The VIPS™ is unique, being the only single cell cloning system on the market that tracks a single cell’s arrival in the actual well with high resolution (z-stack) imaging and to support the subsequent daily whole well imaging provided by the Cell Metric.
