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...
ChromaLIVE Deep Red and NucleoLIVE Red for Live Cell Painting and Phenotypic Profiling
Explore this technical note introducing ChromaLIVE™ Deep Red, a novel non-toxic dye optimized for compatibility with NucleoLIVE™ Red. This new variation of our signature ChromaLIVE™ stain addresses limitations in traditional endpoint high-content screening and cell...
Application Note - MortaLIVE™ non-toxic dye: live-dead assay for real-time cytotoxicity
Cell viability and cell death assays are essential tools to evaluate compound cytotoxicity in drug discovery. While many commercial solutions exist, most are endpoint assays that only capture a snapshot at a single timepoint. MortaLIVE™...
