High Content Screening Assay

High content screening (HCS) is an analytical tool that uses microscopic imaging to observe, measure, and analyze multiple cellular parameters in a bioassay. By applying fluorescent dyes, fluorescent labeled proteins and antibodies, changes occurring within the cell can be detected and quantified after adding corresponding compounds and ligands.

As a long-recognized business in the field, Creative Biolabs specializes in developing cell-based high-content screening assays that can be tailored to your drug discovery process.
