Drug Discovery Kits

Validated live-cell workflows for target engagement, compound profiling, and beyond.

Every kit includes: Cargoes · Optimized protocols · MicroBooster™ cartridges · Suggested readouts · Reagents

Impermeable Candidate Validation in Live Cells

  • Solves: Permeability engineering as a prerequisite for testing cellular activity
  • Cargo: Your impermeable drug candidate
  • Validate and test your candidates in live cells, regardless of permeability
  • e.g. small molecules, macrocycles, peptides

Live-Cell Protein Detection

  • Solves: Live-cell context lost to lysis, and target labeling that requires cell engineering.
  • Cargo: Intracellular antibodies (primary & secondary)
  • Measure endogenous intracellular proteins in live cells
  • e.g. p-BTK, p-ERK, p-AKT, p-STAT3, p-MET Compatible with LgBiT/HgBiT reagents
Download Info

Live-Cell Target Engagement

  • Solves: Live-cell context lost to lysis and detergents, and the need to create cell-permeable tracers
  • Cargoes: Your tracers (e.g. NanoBRET) and compounds
  • Enables live-cell target engagement without lysis; supports impermeable tracers
  • e.g. kinase inhibitor profiling, degrader engagement
Download Info

Controllable Surface Receptor Expression

  • Solves: Fixed, hard-to-modulate surface antigen expression in cell lines
  • Cargo: Custom antigen/receptor RNA — single or combinations
  • Express any antigen on any cell in hours
  • e.g. CD19+CD3, BCMA+CD3, HER2+CD3
Download Info

Direct-to-Assay

  • Solves: The stable-line bottleneck: infeasible in primary cells, slow and laborious elsewhere
  • Cargo: Custom RNA encoding tagged POI
  • Run NanoBRET or LgBiT/HgBiT without stable lines
  • e.g. VHL-NanoLuc, HgBiT-tagged POI, HA-tagged POI
Download Info

Intracellular DEL Screening

  • Solves: DEL screens can't be done in live human cells
  • Cargo: Your DEL library
  • Screen intracellular targets with no library bias
  • e.g. iPSCs, HeLa, PBMCs — any cell type
