In this webinar, Marc Smith, lead product manager at IDBS, discusses the role of data in  cell line development – emphasizing the importance of integrating data from various unit operations to improve efficiency and reduce manual data handling. Marc highlights the challenges of managing data across different processes, such as transfection, cloning and chromatography, and the need for a system that can handle this complexity.

IDBS aims to help customers make faster, smarter decisions by unlocking the power of this data. Marc explains how IDBS Polar supports laboratory execution by capturing and managing data in real time, reducing errors, and improving collaboration. He describes the process of tracking data from cell line development through to manufacturing, ensuring all data is connected and easily accessible.

Marc also discusses the benefits of using the laboratory execution system (LES) capabilities of Polar, which enables scientists to perform experiments live, at point of experiment execution, automatically capturing and storing data. Polar enables the creation of genealogical maps of cell cultures and cell lines, tracking their development and ensuring data integrity throughout the process.

Overall, Marc’s presentation focuses on the importance of data integration and management in biopharmaceutical development, highlighting how IDBS’ solutions can streamline processes and improve decision-making.
