Automated image screening of zebrafish embryos exposed to developmental toxins

22 Aug 2019

In this application note, BioTek demonstrates high-throughput screening and analysis of zebrafish embryos treated with several developmental toxins. Here, BioTek exposes embryos to ethanol, retinoid acid, and cyclopamine, then capture brightfield images of the embryos in multi-well plates with Lionheart™ Automated Microscope. The images are analyzed for size and shape using Gen5™ software. The combination of high-throughput imaging and analysis using a vertebrate model makes this an attractive method for toxicology screening.

Agilent BioTek Gen5 Software for Detection

Agilent Technologies

Agilent BioTek Gen5 software for Agilent BioTek multimode and single-mode microplate readers is an integrated tool for endpoint, kinetic, spectral scanning, and well area scanning. It controls all the functions of the plate reader and has powerful data analysis capabilities for a broad range of applications. Gen5 microplate reader software is also used to integrate BioTek plate readers to BioTek BioStack and other automated systems.
