Platform
Take a look inside
Discover the advanced technology and engineering that makes Avidion possible
Liquid handling system
Automatically manages media exchanges and reagent additions, ensuring consistent and reproducible biology.
Centrifuge
Gently applies a controlled force to assess multi-receptor binding, distinguishing strong interactions from weaker ones.
Incubator
Ensures optimal conditions for your target cells in preparation for your experiment.
Multicolor fluorescence imaging
Unlocks multiplex imaging and enables unified experiments including cell population phenotyping, receptor expression, and transduction efficiency.
Deep-learning enabled graphical processing
Delivers exceptional data quality through automated, intelligent quantification, ready for you right after your experiment.
Robotic cartridge handling
Seamlessly moves your cells through all of the Avidion's compartments, delivering near hands-free operation.
Highlighted capabilities
Dive into some of the Avidion’s capabilities for yourself
How many Cell Avidity measurements can you do in a day? A good example is a CAR-T cell screening project performed in collaboration with Professor Dirk Busch at Technical University Munich, using Avidion. In just half a day, it is possible to test and rank 20 CAR constructs.
Rapid screening
20 Jurkat CAR constructs screened in a single day. Each sample was measured with 4 technical replicates.
Cost & time efficiency
Early, robust identification of top candidates
Repeatable and reproducible results
Tight error bars and SDs confirm assay robustness
Avidion offers 3 complimentary fluorescent channels to assess various markers alongside Cell Avidity, enhancing dimensionality and providing deeper insights into effector cell–target interactions.
1 (Right) Having multiple fluorescent channels enables multiplexing with different markers. For this demonstration, Jurkat cells on Nalm6 were kept too long in culture medium to create artificially high concentrations of dead cells.
Workflow
High throughput & hands-off
Introduce your target cells
Load up to 4 cartridges of target cells, adherent or non-adherent, using standard 96-well plates. Avidion automatically transfers the cells and ensures proper incubation through various checks.
Add your media and effector cells
Introduce your fluorescently labeled effector cells in a separate 96-well plate. Avidion automatically introduces them to your target cells.
Automated Cell Avidity measurements
After the right incubation time, the measurements automatically begin. With a gentle centrifugal force and all the necessary multicolor images, true cell binding is revealed.
View your results and sign off for the day
Get direct access to Cell Avidity insights thanks to Avidion's on-board analysis. With disposable cartridges and automated cleaning, you can shift your focus to your next experiment.

Commercial CAR-T therapies still suffer from severe limitations, as majority of patients fail to achieve complete response and ultimately relapse.
Watch this Webinar to discover Prof. Marco Ruella’s team have adopted a novel CAR-T avidity screening method to improve safety and exhaustion profile, leading to 100% clinical response in a phase I trial.

Cell Avidity measures true binding of biparatopic antibodies
Application note
April 23, 2025
01-01-20
Mechanistic issues limit the effectiveness of many current cancer-targeting antibody therapies, with monospecific antibodies often hindered by receptor dimerization and activation. Biparatopic antibodies, which bind to two unique non-overlapping epitopes, offer a promising solution with stronger binding, more potent antagonism, and higher specificity.
