High Content Screening

Cellular imaging and high content screening technology is widely used in academia to measure cellular function including cell morphology and the function and behavior in cells. The high content imaging technology is also applied in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to help advance the treatment of illnesses such as spinal cord injuries, neurological disorders, chronic inflammation, asthma, organ and tissue transplantation, and cancer.

A complete cellular imaging workflow consists of instruments and software working together to acquire and analyze images, then process, store, and manage the experimental data. Molecular Devices offers several complete integrated workflows for high content screening under its ImageXpress® brand, which is supported by high content analysis software under its MetaXpress®, AcuityXpress™, and MDCStore™ brands. All of these screening solutions offer the advantages of intuitive acquisition, automated image analysis, turnkey cellular informatics, and the seamless integration of the hardware and software components, which eliminates manual data manipulation or transfer encountered in a less sophisticated imaging workflow.

Molecular Devices high content screening and high content imaging products are primarily used for target identification and validation, screening using functional genomics, quality control, assay development using fluorescent labels or GFP, and drug screening.
