High-content phenotypic profiling using the Cell Painting assay

High-content phenotypic profiling is increasingly popular in research areas that span from gene function studies, drug discovery, and toxicology. The Cell Painting assay, often used in phenotypic profiling, uses up to six fluorescent dyes to label and visualize a variety of subcellular structures at the single cell level. The aim of this assay is to visualize as much of the cell as possible in order to construct a representative image of cell state. Molecular Devices shows how to simplify your Cell Painting assay workflow using the ImageXpress Micro Confocal system.
