High Content Screening Instruments

High-Content Analysis (HCA) or High-Content Screening (HCS) combines high-throughput automated imaging and analysis to extract quantitative multi-parametric data at the single-cell level. Originally developed as a complementary technology to traditional biochemical high-throughput screening (HTS) in drug discovery, today high-content screening is established in a far broader area of the life science space as an unbiased imaging method to assess cellular function.

High-Content Imaging (HCI) is typically defined as lower throughput automated microscopy (<100,000 samples or data points) compared to high-content screening. However, high-content imaging is often used interchangeably with the terms high-content screening and high-content analysis.1

High-content screening offers a number of advantages over traditional techniques:

  • More information from cellular samples
    Fully automated imaging and unbiased quantitative image analysis exploits the full potential of microscopy, improving your lab’s throughput and productivity.
  • More meaningful results
    Screening can be performed in more physiologically and biologically relevant systems than in classical biochemical assays.
  • More questions answered simultaneously
    Data sets are more information-rich compared to non-imaging read-outs, allowing a number of questions to be answered simultaneously.

全自动水镜在高内涵筛选中的优势

高内涵成像中的关键参数(速度、灵敏度(或光强度)与分辨率)无法单独优化,因为改变其中任何一个参数均会影响其它参数。例如,通过选择较大的放大倍率提高分辨率时,为保持细胞量不变,需提高成像视野数,但这会降低速度;或通过延长曝光时间提高荧光强度时,速度也会下降。这些问题可以克服。本技术说明解释了正确选择物镜的重要原因。
