Sygnature Discovery specialises in a wide range of target classes, including ion channels, receptors, transporters and cytosolic enzymes, as well as complex reporter systems for cell signalling and protein interaction studies.
Streamlined processes and technical expertise ensure we overcome the challenges associated with cell line generation and guarantee the rapid delivery of robust, high-quality reagents.
Our experts design the optimal assay to aid identification and characterisation of your cell line, providing rapid delivery of well-characterised cell lines that are fit for purpose. We work closely with our customers at every stage of the process, ensuring that they receive the best cell reagents for their research needs.
The specialised recombinant cell line generation services offered by our team extend beyond membrane proteins, offering customers the ability to generate cell lines expressing cytosolic proteins and complex reporter systems, among others. This enables customers to overcome research challenges and use their in-house resources more efficiently.
Our customisable solutions include co-expression of multiple targets, inducible expression control, and a broad range of host cell types. This allows us to tailor our services to the specific needs of our customers for delivery of optimised, well-characterised cell lines that are fit for purpose.

Custom Cell Line Generation Process
Our custom cell line generation process consists of several key steps:
- Designing the right expression constructs to deliver the best performing cell lines.
- Determining the optimal antibiotic selection concentration for your chosen cell type.
- Transfecting cells with the desired plasmid construct(s) and confirming target expression.
- Identifying single cell clones through limiting dilution and expansion under antibiotic selection.
- Assessment of functional characteristics of individual clonal isolates to identify the most suitable clones.
- QC assessment including expression stability.
- Expansion and generation of stocks for further use.
This custom cell line generation streamlined process ensures generation of high-quality stable cell lines that are reliable and consistent, with robust expression of the desired target(s).
What Is The Final Deliverable?
Upon project completion, customers have access to robust, high-quality cell lines which have been fully characterised and functionally validated through state-of-the-art assay platforms.
Insights into cell line characteristics and performance gained throughout the development process are delivered through detailed protocols. This ensures seamless assay transfer and faster integration with your workflow.
