High throughput imaging analysis platform of ArrayScan integrated by CataLyst robot

The ArrayScan® HCS Reader is an automated fluorescence microscopic imaging system designed for high content screening and high content analysis. The instrument features include optics by Carl Zeiss, broad white-light source, 12-bit cooled CCD camera, and controller software. All Cellomics instruments are designed to work with image analysis modules (BioApplications) that automatically convert images into numeric data that capture changes in cell size, shape, intensity, and other properties.  

Platform Components:
•  CataLyst Express robot arm
•  ArrayScan V ti
•  Cytomat HCS incubator

Cellomics BioApplications- Image Analysis Tools for High-Content Screening:
BioApplications provide scientists with sophisticated measurements that reflect the biological properties of the cell. The numerous features reported for each cell include size, shape, amount of fluorescent label, and pattern of fluorescence. Each BioApplication reports cellular data at the individual cell level as well as at the whole well and subpopulation level.

Features
•  Validated algorithms with optimized protocols for image acquisition and analysis
•  Streamlined analysis suitable for both assay development and screening
•  Comprehensive documentation and pre-made image analysis protocols
•  Explore new biologies without doing algorithm development
• Rapidly incorporate high-content assays into your drug discovery efforts
• Maximize the utility of high-content screening in your workflow
• Extract more information from your biology without tedious scriptwriting
