AUTOMATING CELLULAR WORKFLOWS
Integrated Automated Cellular Workstations
Our lab automation experts have extensive experience developing integrated workstations automating cell-based assays. With in-house solutions offering unbiased imaging of multiple cellular samples for high content analysis and screening, we have the scientific background to provide solutions that address the full breadth of your scientific requirements.
Cell Painting is a powerful phenotypic high-content screening approach which combines cell and computational biology to unravel cells’ responses when subjected to perturbagens. explorer™ G3 Cell Painting workstation provides a an integrated, turn-key solution to automate cell painting assays using our PhenoVue™ Cell Painting Kits with image acquisition on our Opera Phenix® Plus high content imager.
