Plate-Based Drug and Toxin Screening Using Multiplexed Flow Cytometry on a Benchtop Platform
20 Feb 2015This study demonstrates the power of the guava easyCyte™ 12 system and InCyte™ software to provide enriched data during drug screening processes. Using just two main assays, plate-based screening was performed for a number of cytotoxic compounds and key ‘hits’ were identified.

Guava® easyCyte™
LuminexOur microcapillary flow cytometry systems are simpler to operate than traditional sheath-fluid based instruments and are far easier to maintain. They utilize small sample volumes, generate minimal waste, and have lower operating costs. As a result, easyCyte™ Flow Cytometers are uniquely amenable to on-demand use in the laboratory environment and have helped many scientists achieve insightful cellular analysis since 1998.

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines.

Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays.

This potential is identified when compounds interact with the target protein during screening and could therefore be carried forward in the drug development process.
