A Rapid Detection Method for Apoptosis and Necrosis Measurement using the Cellometer Imaging Cytometry
Apoptosis, December 2011. Chan LL, Lai N, Wang E, Smith T, Yang X, Lin B.
Apoptosis and necrosis play an important role in various aspects of preclinical pharmaceutical drug discovery and validation. The ability to quickly determine the cytotoxic effect of chemical compounds on cancer cells allows researchers to efficiently identify potential drug candidates for further development in the pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. Recently, a new imaging cytometry system has been developed by Nexcelom Bioscience LLC (Lawrence, MA, USA) for fluorescence-based cell population analysis.
