High-Content Screening (HCS) and High-Content Analysis (HCA)

Designed for the highest quality and fastest time-to-data possible

Our High-Content Screening (HCS), also known as High-Content Analysis (HCA), or High-Content Imaging platforms are designed for exceptional single-cell analysis capabilities and lightning-fast time-to-data. Perform unbiased spontaneous phenotyping with intact, fixed, or live cells derived from monolayers to spheroids. Acquire complex images and high-content data in seconds with the Thermo Scientific CellInsight HCS platforms powered by HCS Studio software.

 

Featured in over 2,000 peer-reviewed publications, the CellInsight platform and HCS Studio software combine multi-parameter fluorescence microscopy with mathematical algorithms that identify and measure each cell within the fields of view. Conducting imaging and analysis in parallel provides the fastest time-to-data possible, a key advantage for high-throughput screening applications. Recent advances in laser-based focusing, confocal spinning disc performance, camera sensitivity and algorithm processing have accelerated throughput so that an entire 96-well plate can be scanned and quantified in under four minutes.
