Considerations for Live Cell Painting Screens: A How-To Guide
In this how-to-guide, we report the design of a new high-throughput screening (HTS) workflow for non-toxic live cell painting, which allows scientists to capture new profiling data at scale, with toolsthat preserve cell physiology. Our...
How does ChromaLIVE™ non-toxic dye work?
ChromaLIVE™ is a non-toxic live-cell dye that operates through a unique molecular rotor mechanism. It enables high-content phenotypic profiling without perturbing cells. Instead of binding to specific biomarkers like traditional stains, ChromaLIVE passively incorporates into...
SBI2 poster 2025 - Key Considerations for Live Cell Painting Screens: A reference Guide
This reference guide outlines the Key Considerations for Live Cell Painting (LCP) screens applied to High-Throughput Screening (HTS). LCP offers superior biological relevance by capturing cells in their most physiological, unperturbed state, compared to...
From Genes to Images: the Unexpected Power of Cell Images to Decode Drug Mechanism
Introduction The search for new medicines has long been dominated by two main strategies: target-based and phenotypic screening. While target-based approaches focus on a single, well-understood biomarker, phenotypic screening takes a broader view, testing drugs...
5 Reasons Why Drug Discovery Leaders Choose Live Cells for their Cell Painting Assay
Context Multiple drug discovery and academic groups have adopted image-based profiling in the last decade for many good reasons: akin to other profiling methods like transcriptomics or proteomics, it captures rich biological data that’s overlapping and...
