Pharmas and biotechs struggle to screen large quantities of compounds, hoping to eliminate early those that would prove more destructive than beneficial. One avenue toward a successful resolution of ...

Fluorescent dyes are tools used throughout biotechnology and medicine that offer a unique method of detecting and quantifying the presence of a target molecule, cell, or tissue within an even more ...

Scientists use multi-day live cell assays to monitor cell growth, viability, and cytotoxicity when evaluating the effects of drug treatment. However, maintaining consistent cell health over time ...

Modern bioassays tend to fall under three common modalities: colorimetric, luminometric or fluorometric. Colorimetric assays record the amount of light absorbed by a reporter compound. This absorbance ...

Trypan Blue is widely used in cell culture laboratories for selectively staining dead cells and tissues. However, the utilization of this dye may pose challenges when accurately evaluating cell counts ...

GVA is a high throughput cell viability assay for microbiology. Akin to the classic CFU assay, GVA measures the number of viable microbes in a sample based on counting discrete colonies. The classic ...

Conventional cell- and bead-based assays can be time-consuming, manual procedures providing only semi-quantitative data. Using high-content analysis systems to obtain object-based, quantitative data ...

Top row (delivery and imaging). Cells and cargo are introduced into a microfluidic chip whose base integrates a porous SU‑8 membrane with vertical through‑holes and a PDMS chamber. As individual cells ...

Flow cytometry is a high throughput method of cell analysis that utilizes carefully designed flow systems to pass cells or other particles in a single file by a laser detector, allowing the size and ...
