High content screening

Cell-based, high throughput screening is now routinely supplemented with sophisticated optical assays to investigate the cellular response to stimuli such as small molecules, miRNAs, antibodies or other compounds.
Reproducible control of assays is key to the success of these high content screening processes, ensuring reliable results.

High content screening allows rapid assessment of individual cellular responses to external stimuli such as the addition of a compound. This approach permits statistical analysis of responses, incorporating variables such as cell cycle phase. Individual cellular response to stimulus is often very small, and highly dependent on sample or cell culture preparation, making reproducible pre-screening procedures critical. Automation of high content screening processes helps to reduce variability between samples and users.

Tecan offers a range of solutions for automation of high content screening experiments, including:

• Integration of users choice of high content reader into the Freedom EVO® platform
• Automation of standard cell culture processes including incubation, harvesting, plating and media exchange
• Repeatable, scheduled timings for all processes
• Integration into LIMS
• Professional project management by an experienced team
