Summary of the technology
High throughput high content image screening analysis, using an In Cell Analyzer 2000 (INCA 2000, GE healthcare). The system automatically acquires multiple fluorescence-labeled images from live or fixed cells cultured in multi-titter-well plates and analyzes a wide range of cellular types, with intracellular biological markers, bearing different fluorescent labels. The image data analysis quantifies the multi-parametric information at the cellular and sub-cellular levels allowing graphical visualization and characterization.
Project ID : 12-2011-206
Details of the Technology Offer
The Facility has an In Cell Analyzer 2000 (INCA 2000, GE healthcare), the first in Israel, which is a high throughput high content image screening analyzer capable of automatically acquiring multiple fluorescence-labeled images from live or fixed cells cultured in multi titter-well plates. We offer the possibility to analyze a wide range of cellular types together with intracellular biological markers baring different fluorescent labels. The image data analysis is performed in batches, using specialized software that quantifies the multi-parametric information at the cellular and sub-cellular levels allowing graphical visualization, characterization and analysis.
Assays:
Cell count, cell cycle, cell migration, vesicular labeling, cytotoxicity, DNA repair, cell adhesion, cell proliferation, apoptosis, gene expression reporter systems, neurite outgrowth, etc.
Technichal features of INCA 2000 include:
- Environmental control
- Liquid handling
- Transmitted and fluorescence light imaging
- Temperature Control
- Plates or slide imaging
In addition, the lab is equipped with:
- Cell and tissue culturing facilities
-Human primary cells, human embryonic and adult stem cell cultures and various differentiation protocols.
-Custom assay preparation - Drug HT screening facility (not yet available)
-Compound Libraries
-Liquid handling robot integrated with INCA 2000
