FAQ's

What are the advantages of phenotypic screening?

Phenotypic screening identifies compounds based on their functional effects in a biological system rather than predefined target interactions. This unbiased approach is particularly valuable for discovering novel mechanisms of action and first-in-class therapeutics.

What types of phenotypic assays are available?

Cellomatics offers a wide range of phenotypic assays, including proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and complex co-culture systems. These assays capture the overall biological response to a compound. 

Which technologies support phenotypic screening?

High-content imaging and automated liquid handling platforms enable simultaneous measurement of multiple cellular parameters. This provides detailed insight into compound activity and mechanism.

Can phenotypic assays be customised?

Yes. Assays can be tailored to specific disease areas, including oncology, immunology, and inflammation. Cellomatics frequently uses primary human cells to enhance physiological relevance.

How is a phenotypic hit translated into a target?

Following hit identification, Cellomatics supports follow-up studies such as pathway analysis and molecular profiling to identify and validate the underlying targets and mechanisms of action.
