CHO clone demo

From 50 CHO clones to a model-reviewed top-5 next-run decision

Metastate turns CHO clone time-course data into a ranked shortlist, model-consistency flags, score-update evidence, and a next-run monitoring plan.

Synthetic demo. No confidential data used. All data is generated for the demo. Browser-calculated screen metrics are paired with a precomputed CHO model review.

Decision story

Select the right CHO clones before the next expensive run

The expensive mistake is advancing clones that look good by titer but carry hidden waste burden, fragile growth, or weak model consistency. This demo shows the decision change, then exposes the evidence behind it.

The screen

What data do we have for each clone?

View

The starting screen

50 CHO clones over 7 measured days

We begin with the kind of data a team already has after a clone screen: viable cell density, product, feeds, and metabolite measurements across replicate cultures.

GrowthDoes the clone sustain viable biomass through the screen?
ProductivityIs product coming from cell-specific productivity or simply more cells?
Waste/feed behaviorDoes the clone create process risk through lactate, ammonia, or heavy nutrient demand?

All 50 clones are visible; the selected clone is highlighted

Start by looking for trajectory shape, not just endpoint product. Strong endpoint titer becomes less attractive when it arrives with late viability loss, high waste, or heavy nutrient demand.

High titer is favorable only if it is not coupled to high overflow burden.

qP separates clones that truly produce more per viable cell from clones that mainly grew more biomass.

What supports the decision?

For a real review, useful inputs include: clone IDs, replicate structure, VCD over time, product/titer, feed additions, glucose/glutamine/lactate/ammonia where available, sampling days, process notes, and the decision deadline.
Better context improves the score: amino-acid panels, oxygen and CO2 signals, replicate metadata, and real process context make the model review and score update stronger.

Next step

Discuss a clone-selection review with real data

The strongest use case is a team with one expensive next run, enough screen data to calculate rates, and a need to justify a smaller, better-monitored shortlist.

Formula drawer and units
IVCDsum((VCD_start + VCD_end) / 2 * days_between_samples)Area under the living-cell curve. This tells us how many viable cells were available to make product.
qPproduct made / IVCDProduct made per living cell per day. This separates true productivity from simply having more cells.
Feed-corrected glucosestart glucose + feed added - end glucoseIn fed-batch data, feed additions must be counted before calling a concentration drop consumption.
Metabolite rateconcentration change / interval IVCDUptake and secretion rates are calculated between measured days, then summarized for the production window.
FBA unit conversionpmol/cell/day -> mmol/gDW/hUses the explicit dry-cell-weight assumption so process rates can be displayed as model bounds.
Uncertainty boundsmeasured rate +/- 20%Bounds use ranges because exact constraints would overstate measurement precision.
Assumptions and limitations

Assumptions: dry cell weight 330 pg/cell, mAb molecular weight 150 kDa, uncertainty bounds +/-20%, feed represented as mM-equivalent added since previous sample.

Limitations: this v1 does not run a full CHO genome-scale model in the browser. It does not claim exact intracellular flux prediction from endpoint data. The score improves with amino-acid panels, oxygen and CO2 signals, replicate metadata, and real process context.

Current FBA layer: the demo uses CHO.net 1.2 with native CHO exchange reactions and a native mAb product reaction to review measured clone behavior. For a production scientific package, replace or extend the compact model with the approved CHO model for the specific cell line and process.
