Cellular Applications for Image-based Cytometry on A Multimode Plate Reader

Date: October 11th, 2016
Time: 10:00AM EST, 4:00PM CEST, 3:00PM BST, 7:00AM PST

Plate readers first became available about 30 years ago and have become the workhorses of research laboratories performing biochemical and cell-based assays.

One of the newest features that has become available on multimode plate readers alongside the traditional modes such as luminescence, fluorescence and absorbance is imaging technology – the ability to generate one or more images per well of a 96- or 384-well microplate. Imaging expands the possibilities on a plate reader to ensuring assay quality and running phenotypic cell-based assays, including cell health/toxicity applications, transfection analysis, cell migration, viral infection and proliferation assays.          
 
In this webinar, we will describe how cellular applications can benefit from fast, image-based cytometry.
 
Who should attend
Researchers who are interested in:

• Cell-based assays
• Orthogonal assays
• Imaging and automated image analysis

 
Key Learning Objectives
You will learn:

• Why cellular applications benefit from image-based cytometry
• How image-based cytometry improves your cell-based assay data and leads to more reliable results
• How combining imaging with other readout modes enables non-invasive monitoring of cytotoxicity parallel to the functional assay. 
• How using imaging significantly reduces effort, cost and time when you have to optimize cell assay conditions, such as for transfection assays
• The benefits of fast and automated image analysis on a plate reader
