Power of Cellular Analysis
Every pixel is like a photomultiplier tube providing position (where) and intensity (how much) information.

Features to enhance automation of imaging and analysis
� Environmental control: longer and more complex experiments
� Laser�based autofocus: better plate throughput and less bleaching
� Confocal: sharper images, better segmentation
� Liquid handling: multiple assays after each other
� Montage Mode: multiple images to increase sample size
� Open modular system, additional robotics

High Content Analysis Addresses Four Basic Assay Categories
Fluorescence intensity change
• Calcium flux• Phosphorylation• Protein degradation• Image cytometry
1
Fluorescence distribution• Cytoplasm to nucleus
(eg NFκκκκB)• Cytoplasm to plasma
membrane (eg PKCαααα)• Plasma membrane to
organelle (egTransfluor GPCR)
• Receptor internalization
• Protein co-localization
2
Morphology
• Neurite outgrowth• Angiogenesis• Cell differentiation• Apoptosis
3
Cell Movement
• Chemotaxis/migration• Wound healing• Metastasis/invasion• Long-term tracking

Automated infection assays – with high content
data extraction
E.g. Average no of bacteria per cell, percentage of infected
cells, average intensity of bacterial spots per cell, etc..
Applications in identifying host receptors, bacterial genes
required for infection, screening anti�infectives, inhibitors

HTS Scratcher
� Controlled spring counterforce ensures the downward movement is smooth and controlled.
� Adjustable scratch length � 1�12 mm
� Versatility � can be used for 96 and 384�well plates
� Wounding assay can be combined with other reporters

Summary� BD Pathway
� Very suitable for automated live cell imaging and extraction of high content information from cells and tissue (multiplexing).
� Screening of compound libraries, gene silencing arrays, mutant (transposon) libraries, meta�genomic libraries
� High Content Imaging Data can be integrated with genomics, proteomics, metabolomics datasets
