High Content Screening Services

High Content Screening (HCS) is a key high-throughput analytical technique to assess complex cell parameters for biomedical research and drug discovery. Using automated microscopy in conjunction with advanced image processing algorithms, HCS allows researchers to watch complex cellular behavior, phenotype, and treatment effects in real time. It is important for applications in oncology, neurobiology, toxicology, and regenerative medicine, where it's important to grasp multi-scale cellular responses. HCS enables multiple features to be assessed simultaneously at the cell level, providing a quantitative picture of biology and drug interactions at the cell level.

Creative Biolabs leverages this innovative technology to create customized HCS assays for rigorous scientific research in a range of areas. With combined experience in bioinformatics, disease biology, and image analysis, Creative Biolabs provides HCS services to create robust, scalable data for clients around the world.

Our HCS Services

We offer both small-scale screening and large-scale screening options tailored to your research. The small-scale screens are ideal for early-stage research, allowing clients to fine-tune assay parameters before expanding to larger studies. While the large-scale screening capabilities are crucial for our clients aiming to generate large datasets for applications such as drug screening, toxicology, and biomarker identification.

Small-Scale Screening Options

For initial studies or validation projects, Creative Biolabs offers small-scale screening options that provide a foundation for assay development and optimization. These services include:

• Training on HCS instruments and analysis software.
• Custom image analysis for assay development, optimization, and data validation.
• Specialized support for assay readout optimization, ensuring clear and reliable measurements.

Large-Scale Screening Capabilities

Creative Biolabs also supports high-throughput, large-scale screening for comprehensive data acquisition and high-volume analysis. Key capabilities include:

• Assay miniaturization and algorithmic optimization to facilitate large-scale studies.
• Integration with HTS facilities to enable expansive, automated data collection.
• Advanced data management and analysis tools that maintain accuracy and consistency across high sample volumes.
