Cells and plating density
A diverse range of cell lines and primary cells can be screened. It is strongly
recommended that cells are approximately 70% confluent, not clumped or overlapping
and are adhered to the bottom of the well.
Screening facilities
The Discovery-1 screening machine contains a motorised stage and camera arm that
enables unattended acquisition of images from tissue culture plates. Data can be
saved via the CD-RW & DVD+RW writer. Data can be analysed on offline PCs (Windows
XP) containing MetaMorph software, Adobe Photoshop and Pagemaker.
Experimental design
All experiments will need appropriate controls to validate the images acquired.
Also, plates need to be safe to handle within PC1 lab facilities.
