TechTalk: Revealing deeper ADC cytotoxicity insights with live cell analysis for drug discovery

Friday, March 20 at 15:00 GMT | 16:00 CET | 11:00 EDT | 08:00 PDT

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) require precise, reliable in vitro assays to understand potency, kinetics, and mechanism of action early in development. Traditional endpoint assays often miss critical dynamic responses and introduce variability through dyes and labels.

In this 20‑minute SelectScience® TechTalk, Field Application Scientist Viswanath Lanka will demonstrate how the Maestro Z™ label‑free monitoring system enables real‑time, impedance‑based assessment of ADC‑mediated cytotoxicity. See how continuous kinetic data reveals differences in killing dynamics, accelerates detection, and supports confident potency quantification.

Register today to learn how to simplify your workflow, improve reproducibility, and apply practical examples of how Maestro Z supports confident decision-making in oncology drug discovery.

Key learning objectives:

  • Understand why real-time, kinetic measurements are critical for accurately assessing ADC cytotoxicity
  • Learn how label-free impedance assays can be faster and more sensitive than traditional endpoint methods
  • Explore practical considerations for implementing real-time ADC assays in discovery workflows

Who should attend?

  • Drug discovery, oncology, and ADC‑focused scientists across pharma, biotech, CROs, and academic labs working on targeted therapies, cytotoxicity, and phenotypic screening.
  • Assay development, optimization, and cell‑based assay specialists, including lab managers and screening scientists running cytotoxicity, viability, and phenotypic workflows.
  • Teams advancing antibody‑drug conjugates, oncology research, and next‑generation drug discovery, with a focus on stability, potency, and decision‑making in early development.
