Miniaturized Kinetic Live-Cell Imaging Assays in 384-well Format
24 Feb 2015Live content imaging Cell Player assays offer significant advantage over classical HCS methodologies. These, non-invasive, long term, kinetic assays enable phenotypic measurements over the entire time-course. Cell proliferation and death, 3D tumor spheroid growth and shrinkage, and neurite outgrowth can be automatically quantified in 384-well kinetic live-cell assays using the IncuCyte ZOOM’s phase-contrast and fluorescent image processing algorithms.

Cell-Based AssaysCell-based assays are used to monitor the presence, quantity and activities of a desired cellular analyte including drug molecules or biomarkers. This can reveal information on cell health (apoptosis, cytotoxicity, viability and proliferation assays), cell metabolism, cell migration and cell signaling mechanisms.

Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples.

This parallelization reduces the cost per experiment and increases reproducibility and output volume of data.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.
