NCA20975 IncuCyte S3 HD/2CLR

Tender description

The IncuCyte-S3 platform represents the latest model from the IncuCyte range and is the first and most advanced brightfield or fluorescent microscope that can be placed within a standard tissue culture incubator to facilitate remote network access to image acquisition and image analysis software. This is also a trade in against our existing IncuCyte-Zoom system An expanding area of preclinical drug discovery is the application of automated microscopic imaging to cell-based experimental tests to provide detailed insight into biological mechanisms of cancer cell behaviour and drug response i.e cell phenotpes. Several collaborating research groups and ongoing projects within the drug discovery group at IGMM utilize microscopic imaging and image analysis of cell phenotypes and optical reporter probes including the use of the current IncuCyte Zoom platform from Essen Bioscience which represents an older model of the latest IncuCyte-S3 technology. A growing area of need within the drug discovery community is the application of a high-throughput cell-based kinetic imaging capability to support routine genomic (siRNA/shRNA & Crisper/CAS) and chemical library screening activities across multiple samples in a robust and timely manner.
