Analyze Experimental Results Using Curve Fitting with MetaXpress 6.5 Software
21 Mar 2019The new Curve Fitting Algorithms in the MetaXpress® 6.5 (MX 6.5) HighContent Image Acquisition and Analysis Software were designed to facilitate data visualization and the secondary analysis of data. The software allows you to generate a curve of best fit to a series of data points. With multiple functions, including 4-parameter logistic, and multiple curve outputs, such as EC50 and benchmark response, an array of graphs and curves can be generated to best represent data. Here, we show how to generate doseresponse relationship for defining the EC50 values of compounds using a toxicity assay as an example.

Chem / BioinformaticsCheminformatics and bioinformatics are computational techniques used in chemistry and biology, respectively, for data acquisition, processing and storage. Cheminformatics focuses on compound information, whereas bioinformatics is mainly applied to analysis and modeling of genomics, genetic and sequencing information. Hardware and software is available for data acquisition, analysis, management and storage.High-Content ScreeningHigh-content screening (HCS), also known as high-content analysis (HCA), is a high-throughput technique used in drug discovery to identify substances that alter the phenotype of cells. HCS uses fluorescent microscopic imaging and automated image analysis to investigate cellular events such as apoptosis, cell viability, GPCR activation, oxide production, neurite outgrowth, and cell signaling. Find the best fluorescent labeling reagents, cellular assays, and high-content imaging systems in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Software PlatformsSoftware platforms are useful for various stages of laboratory experiments from data collection to data storage and processing. For instance lab software is available for system control, data management, data analysis and qualification / validation.High Content ImagingHigh content imaging is a method combining two or more fluorescent microscopy experiments to identify substances that alter a cell’s phenotype in a desired manner. The process is adapted to multi-well plates and both the image acquisition and analysis are automated.
