Confocal Portrait

Confocal Imaging

  • Biomarker imaging for spatial multiomics
  • Proteomic vaildation of spatially distinct cell states
A diagram illustrating flow cytometry, showing different cell types (cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, T helper lymphocytes, other leukocytes) with specific surface markers (CD3, CD4, CD8) passing through a flow cell where they are illuminated by a laser and detected by a sensor. The resulting fluorescence data is presented as a 2-dimensional dot plot and 1-dimensional histograms, identifying 60% CD4-positive cells and 25% CD8-positive cells.

FACS isolation of Cell Subsets

  • Bulk cell enrichment by magnetic bead isolation
  • Antibody specific cell type isolation by FACS

In-Depth Bioinformatics

  • Detailed informatics and data visualization
  • Data integration for multiomics
  • Custom analysis workflows
Four fluorescent microscopy images comparing 'Cleared' (cyan, left) and 'Expanded' (magenta, right) cellular spheroids, with 'Endogenous' (top) and 'Immuno-stain' (bottom) fluorescent signals. Expanded spheroids are dramatically larger and reveal finely resolved internal cellular structures compared to the more compact cleared samples. White dashed lines indicate the approximate center of each spheroid.

High Content Imaging

  • High Content Analysis/Screening
  • 2D, co-culture, 3D imaging
  • Drug response HCS
  • Cell Painting assay
A diagram illustrating the transfer of 'required volumes' from four individual 96-well compound plates (green, blue, red, orange) into a single 384-well destination plate. Each 96-well plate fills one distinct quadrant of the 384-well plate. An inset shows how the A1 wells from each of the four 96-well plates contribute to specific sub-wells within the A1 area of the 384-well plate.

Custom Assay Development

  • Compound validation assays
  • Complex dosing schemes
  • Full gamut of phenotypic and molecular readouts
