Cell-Based Image Analysis

Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the availability of the Cellomics Synaptogenesis High Content Screening (HCS) Reagent Kit, the latest addition to the companys range of Cellomics HCS reagent kits. The kit enables simultaneous detection of neuronal population, neurite, pre-synaptic vesicle, post-synaptic puncta and synapse using a fixed end-point assay that is based on immunofluorescence detection in cells grown on standard high-density microplates. The kit has been specifically designed to enable drug discovery and systems biology researchers to uniquely measure synaptic function utilizing the full benefit of a sophisticated new technology in high-content cell-based image analysis. Offering simplicity and streamlined preparation of quality samples in the laboratory, the kit has been optimized with an Arrayscan HCS reader.
