Getting Started: Cell Based Assays

This webinar was broadcast on October 22nd.

Presenters

• Mark Rothenberg Ph.D. Application Scientist, Corning Inc., Life Sciences
• Yvonne Beirne FitzGerald, Field Application Scientist, Molecular Devices
• Learn the key steps for developing robust and reproducible cell based assays.

Drug screens utilizing cell-based assays have grown in acceptance due to new and improved technologies. They provide a vital tool in the arsenal of applications available for scientists in drug discovery, from cancer biology to neuroscience. Understanding the microenvironment in which cells are asked to function in order to achieve the optimal results in any cell-based drug screen is critical.

Topics

• What type of assays can be done using cells
• Tips on cell culture preparation
• Factors to consider when designing cell based assays
• Understanding the impact of the microplate and choosing the appropriate surface for your assay
• Detection methods for cell based assay
