Cell-based assays are an essential component of many drug discovery programs and the ability to monitor how cells react to novel compounds in real time is invaluable.
At Charnwood Discovery we use the IncuCyte® SX5 for all our real-time live-cell imaging needs. This instrument allows us to investigate cell behavior in a kinetic manner for extended time periods, from simple confluency monitoring to experiments including multiple cell dyes and labels.
This capability is essential when developing cell-based assays and when screening compounds to fully understand how cells behave and add value to client projects.
