Measuring Neurite Outgrowth with the SpectraMax MiniMax Cytometer and MetaMorph Software
29 Mar 2019Neurons create connections via extensions of their cellular body called dendrites or “processes”. This biological phenomena is referred to as neurite outgrowth and is regulated by complex intracellular signaling events. Understanding the signaling mechanisms driving neurite outgrowth provides valuable insight for interpreting neurotoxic compound screening data and for elucidating factors influencing neural regeneration.

Microplate Readers / DetectorsMicroplate readers are used to automate the detection and analysis of labeled or label-free components in microplates during assays or live-cell monitoring. Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
