TechTalk: Monoclonal alternatives to plasma as reliable human infectious disease controls and calibrators
Friday, March 13 at 15:30 GMT | 16:30 CET | 10:30 EST | 07:30 PST
Register now to discover scalable, consistent monoclonal antibody controls and calibrators that replace plasma‑sourced materials for infectious‑disease immunoassays.
This 20-minute SelectScience® TechTalk will showcase how fully human monoclonal antibodies provide reliable, standardized solutions for diagnostics. We’ll cover the full development and qualification process, including cell-line generation and validation, large-scale production, product standardization, and stability testing. Real-world examples for rubella, Toxoplasma, and hepatitis targets will illustrate how these controls and calibrators enhance assay consistency and reliability.
This TechTalk is part four of a seven-part expert-led TechTalk series on essential topics in LFA development. Register to watch live or on-demand and receive exclusive invitations to upcoming sessions.

Key learning objectives:
- Why plasma‑sourced control materials are challenging and how human monoclonal alternatives address supply, consistency, and processing issues.
- The end‑to‑end process to create and validate human monoclonal cell lines (sampling, immortalization, screening, banking).
- Manufacturing and product quality highlights: bioreactor production, lot standardization, traceability, and stability claims.
- How to select appropriate control/calibrator formats using product examples (rubella, Toxoplasma, hepatitis).
Who should attend?
This TechTalk is designed for professionals involved in the development and manufacturing of diagnostics, including researchers, assay developers, and quality control specialists. It is particularly beneficial for those seeking to deepen their understanding of assay development processes, improve their overall effectiveness, and enhance supply security.
