Cellular Imaging Applications

3D cell culture models, such as spheroids, organoids, and microtissues, have gained popularity as tools for research, drug discovery and toxicity studies.

HCS assays are at the heart of phenotypic drug discovery – a strategy which implies little foreknowledge of the mode-of-action of potential drug candidates and relies on physiologically relevant and predictive model systems of the disease in question.

Cell painting is a type of phenotypic assay and a powerful application of high-content screening.

Live-cell imaging is the study of living cells using images acquired by time-lapse microscopy.

Cell signalling, physiology and function can all be studied using a high-content analysis approach

High-content analysis (HCA) has expanded into all corners of life science since its beginnings in drug discovery and is now used widely in a diverse range of scientific research areas including oncology, neuroscience, infectious disease, and toxicology, to name just a few.
