Label-free calculation of cell death dose-response curve
1 Aug 2022In this application note, Phasefocus presents a dynamic and label-free dose-response assay for the death of U251 Glioblastoma cells to a varying dose of Staurosporine. The Livecyte system utilizes a Quantitative Phase Imaging (QPI) modality to measure the dry mass of cells over time which can be used to characterize cell death.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins. Find the best cell and tissue culture products, kits and equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.CytotoxicityCytotoxicity assays measure the toxic effects of substances on cells, often used in drug testing and environmental studies. These tests are crucial in determining the safety of chemicals and pharmaceutical compounds. Explore cytotoxicity testing tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Cell ImagingCell imaging can be achieved using a number of techniques including confocal microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and light sheet microscopy.Cell AnalysisThe analysis of cells allows researchers to understand the factors which contribute to cell health and function. These influencing processes can then be predicted and altered, leading to the development of medication and disease treatments.Live Cell ImagingLive cell imaging is the study of living cells using microscopes and high-content imaging systems. This technique provides in-depth insight into fast and complex biological processes, by allowing dynamic imaging of living cells instead of acquiring an individual image at a single point in time.
