  • Liquid based selection and cell isolation
    Patent number: 11098279
    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate to liquid-based workflows for strain engineering. In strain engineering, cells undergo a modification process to acquire a desired change or changes in the cells. Some of the cells accept the change or changes and some do not. Provided herein are liquid-based methods for selecting the population of cells that have accepted the change or changes. Also provided herein are liquid-based methods for removing markers from transformed cells and liquid-based methods for isolating clonally pure populations of cells.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 2, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 24, 2021
    Assignee: ZYMERGEN INC.
    Inventors: Sean Poust, Vytas SunSpiral, William Serber, Matthew Jonathan Myers, Sara da Luz Areosa Cleto, Philip Weyman
  • SCALABLE, MOBILE, AND RECONFIGURABLE MODULES FOR PROCESSING BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20200393477
    Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses, systems, and methods for processing materials, including biological or chemical materials. A manufacturing module may include a work station configured to perform a process involving equipment capable of use with biological or chemical material, a first transportation segment that is configured to connect and disconnect with a second transportation segment such that when connected, a carrier of the biological or chemical material can be transported from the first transportation segment to the second transportation segment, a pick and place robot configured to move an element between the first transportation segment and the work station; and a movement mechanism configured to allow the work station, the first transportation segment, and the pick and place robot to be moved as a single unit. A system may include a plurality of manufacturing modules that are reconfigurable to a plurality of configurations.
