Measuring what cells do, not just what they are

Finding functional cells through single-cell analysis

Wednesday, November 18 at 15:00 GMT | 16:00 CET | 10:00 EST | 07:00 PST

Single-cell workflows can reveal which cells are present, but identifying the cells that perform a desired function, and recovering them for further study, remains a significant challenge. Promising candidates may be discarded before their function is tested or lost once an interesting result is found.

Join Sarah Taylor, VP of Science at Lightcast, to discover how Envisia connects functional measurement with live-cell recovery. The platform enables researchers to run sequential, multi-step assays on the same cell, observe its response directly and recover the cells behind the most promising results for sequencing, expansion or further characterization.

Deterministic droplet control provides precise control over cell and reagent combinations without relying on random, Poisson-limited loading. Researchers can therefore rank candidates using functional evidence at the point of discovery and take the strongest performers forward.

See how early-access partners are applying Envisia across antibody discovery, cell-cell interaction studies and cell line development, and learn what this approach could bring to your next discovery program.

Who should attend?

This event is perfect for:
  • Scientists and researchers in antibody discovery, including hybridoma and B-cell library screening
  • Cell line development teams evaluating tools for high-producer identification
  • Cell and gene therapy researchers characterizing effector function or requiring live-cell recovery
  • Anyone using or considering droplet microfluidics or FACS-based functional screens

Envisia

Lightcast

Envisia is a droplet-based single-cell platform that overcomes Poisson limitations to enable deterministic cell handling, sequential droplet merging, and iterative assays, unlocking true functional, phenotypic screening at the single-cell level.

What will this webinar cover?

  • Why binding-based and endpoint measurements can mask the functional responses that matter most
  • How deterministic droplet control replaces the trade-offs of Poisson-limited, random loading
  • How Envisia supports sequential, multi-step assays on the same live cell, from merge through to recovery
  • Where the platform is already being applied, across antibody discovery, cell:cell interactions and cell line development
  • What early access with Lightcast involves, and how to get started
