In vitro drug screening on cancer cells using the Spark Cyto imaging cytometer

Cell-based in vitro assays represent essential tools for evaluating cytostatic and cytotoxic effects in drug screening projects. Explore the advantages of combining the bright field (BF) and fluorescence-based object identification algorithms of the Spark^® Cyto reader with a commercially available highly sensitive viability and toxicity assay. Tecan also discusses relevant considerations when establishing such a cell-based assay.
