Workflows for In-depth High Content Analysis
31 Mar 2013High content screening (HCS) is a rapid and flexible tool for studying biological processes in great detail at a high throughput. As a consequence, HCS campaigns generate large amounts of data that need to be analyzed. This application note demonstrates how the Opera® High Content Screening System and Operetta® High Content Imaging System can be used with different software products in the PerkinElmer portfolio to provide an in-depth analysis of screening data.

Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.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.
