PhenomeX Inc. Announces Lifting of the Stay in AbCellera Patent Infringement Case PhenomeX Inc. announced that the series of lawsuits filed by AbCellera in 2020 will now proceed in litigation. AbCellera contends that PhenomeX's Beacon platform infringes certain U.S. patents claiming methods of cell culture and analysis developed on microfluidic chips featuring microwells and pressurized valves--neither of which are found in PhenomeX's OptoSelect chips. PhenomeX's Beacon platform is protected by a growing portfolio of over 500 patents and has been featured in a number of studies, including a study on SARS-CoV-2 research recently published in Cell Reports about the Omicron variant. PhenomeX is confident it will prevent in this litigation and continue its mission to develop and deliver critical cell biology research solutions to its customers. The Beacon platform's features are unique amongst single-cell screening technologies. The Beacon system allows multi-parameter, selective movement of single cells into nanoliter-sized NanoPen chambers for further analysis, loading single-cells into more than 70% of the NanoPen chambers on the chip, up to 12-16 assays to be run on the same set of cells in a single day, and selective export of live cells. No other microfluidic platform on the market approaches these capabilities. The litigation has resumed, as expected, following resolution of an administrative proceeding on the validity of AbCellera's U.S. Patent No. 10,087,408 over certain earlier patents and publications. That administrative proceeding is now on appeal. Anuncio • Jun 24
PhenomeX Receives a Notice from Nasdaq Regarding Minimum Bid Price Rule On June 21, 2023, PhenomeX Inc. (the Company") received a notice (the Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq's Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the Minimum Bid Price Rule"), because the minimum bid price of the Company's common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until December 12, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180 calendar day grace period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by December 12, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period if it elects to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. However, if it appears to Nasdaq's staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, or if the Company's common stock has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days during any such compliance period, Nasdaq would notify the Company that its common stock would be subject to delisting. The Company may appeal any such determination to delist its common stock, but there can be no assurance that any such appeal would be successful. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule or otherwise maintain compliance with any of the other listing requirements. Nonetheless, the Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options, including a reverse stock split, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

PhenomeX Inc. Launches Beacon Select Optofluidic System with Opto B Discovery Workflows PhenomeX Inc. announced the launch of Beacon Select optofluidic system with Opto B Discovery workflows for antibody discovery. The Opto B Discovery workflows, with their cutting-edge technologies and features, enable scientists to find lead candidate antibodies tailored to their specific challenges and changing needs. Combined with the value-matched Beacon Select system, more customers may access these propriety antibody discovery applications, but with the optimum level of features that meet their research and budgetary needs. PhenomeX's optofluidic platform is now a standard to deliver optimal antibodies with speed, as highlighted recently in the high-impact journal Cell, where antibodies against COVID-19 variants were discovered on the Beacon system six months before Omicron emergence. Opto B Discovery workflows on the Beacon Select system enable scientists to accelerate antibody screening and hit generation to find lead candidate antibodies and are ideally suited for small- to mid-sized biopharma and CDMOs/CROs. This contrasts with the flagship four-chip Beacon system enabled for antibody discovery, optimized for the highest screening throughputs demanded by large biopharma and established CDMOs/CROs. The Beacon Select system enables rapid function-first selection of single B cells with the best characteristics for any antibody application, including antibody therapeutics, diagnostics, and reagents. In addition, the Opto B Discovery workflows offer users highly customizable assays to assess antigen and epitope specificity, species or variant cross-reactivity, and functional properties, all in a single-day workflow. By selecting and recovering sequences of only the most desirable antibodies with favorable attributes, users can reduce overall bioprocessing costs, improve the probability of campaign success, and shorten timelines to lead candidates. When combined with PhenomeX's catalog of best-in-class reagents and consumables for mouse, human, and rabbit B cell repertoires, customers can do all this against even the hardest antigen targets, including G coupled-protein receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels, to accelerate antibody discovery beyond traditional methods available today. To further increase customer accessibility and affordability, PhenomeX will offer the Beacon Select system for antibody discovery with different purchase options including capital placement, lease, or reagent rental. The two-chip Beacon Select list price will be approximately half of the current Beacon system, which makes the technology ideal for new users that do not need the full Beacon capacity. In addition, this lower price point allows existing Beacon customers to more readily increase throughput, add laboratory capacity, and (for existing cell line development customers) access antibody discovery applications.

Berkeley Lights, Inc. and the Jaime Leandro Foundation Announce the Discovery, Functional Characterization, and Recovery of A Patient-Derived T Cell Receptor Sequence Against A Cancer Neoantigen Berkeley Lights, Inc. and the Jaime Leandro Foundation for Therapeutic Cancer Vaccines announced the discovery, functional characterization, and recovery of a patient-derived T cell receptor sequence against a cancer neoantigen. Together, Berkeley Lights and JLF were able to measure and identify T cells that were reactive against peptides used in a cancer vaccine that was administered to a patient to successfully stimulate an immune response against their advanced-stage pancreatic cancer leading to complete remission. The patient was treated under the supervision of physicians at Washington University in St. Louis. The unprecedented speed of these results relied on the Berkeley Lights Beacon(R) system. Applying the cell therapy development workflow, thousands of phenotypic measurements of single T cells were performed within one week. These measurements identified T cells that were cytotoxic and capable of secreting cytokines in response to antigen encounter, which were therefore predicted to be functional and subsequently sequenced at a single cell level. Cloning these T cell receptor sequences and expressing them in naïve T cells enabled functional validation against an antigen of interest. This function-first measurement capability of the Berkeley Lights platform is a significant differentiator compared to frequency-based assessments of TCRs which result in functional validation bottlenecks, adding to a growing number of highly differentiated service offerings at Berkeley Lights.
