Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced that biotech start-up Trilogy Sciences has been awarded an Agilent Golden Ticket at LabCentral, a leading biotech innovation hub based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. LabCentral is a shared laboratory space designed as a launchpad for high-potential life sciences and biotech start-ups. The Golden Ticket provides funding for one lab bench space for a year.
“As part of Agilent and LabCentral’s shared commitment to advancing health sciences and early-stage biotechnology companies, we are thrilled to provide Trilogy with an Agilent Golden Ticket,” said Darlene Solomon, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Agilent Technologies.
Trilogy Sciences’ mission is to develop therapeutics for untreatable diseases by applying cutting-edge chemical biology, including new methodologies to rapidly synthesize and screen for hyper-effective drugs to combat recurrent breast, brain, and lung cancers.
Agilent is a platinum sponsor of LabCentral and has equipped the shared laboratory workspace with a variety of Agilent’s technologies, including a high-resolution mass spectrometry system, and a cell analysis extracellular flux (XF) analyzer. The sponsorship includes the Golden Ticket, which represents one year of bench space for a scientist, including the benefit of LabCentral’s shared infrastructure and services.

AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
