This high throughput high-content cell analyser with high performance combines superior image quality, flexible image capture, and live-cell analysis. It provides fluorescence intensity measurements, kinetic imaging, and morphological analysis, including subcellular imaging.
High Throughput High Content Imaging is a sophisticated combination of microscopy, robotics, staining technics and software-based automated analysis of cellular and tissue related structures. This approach allows the screening of cellular behaviour of a large numbers of compounds such as chemical libraries or gene silencing libraries. Becton Dickinson's (BD) Pathway 855 High-Content Bioimager is one of the most capable imaging solutions available for live or fixed cell samples. It combines superior image quality, flexible image capture, and live-cell analysis to address a wide range of applications.
The term 'high content' can be translated as the extraction of rich information from generated images which can include not only the intensity of a staining per cell but also the area of organelles, shapes, number of structures or combination of these parameters. The power of high content image analysis is that small biological effects are identified far more precise than with traditional techniques.
