We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Cell-based Assay",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Easy imaging of live cells inside the incubator from
Essen Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "IncuCyte is decsribed as a first-of-its-kind system that allows kinetic, non-invasive imaging of cells in culture right inside the well-controlled incubator environment".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Screening service expedites lead optimisation from
Millipore: "Millipore has announced the availability of GPCRProfiler screening, an innovative service for selectivity screening, characterisation of lead compounds, and screening of focused GPCR libraries".
In September 2006, we covered the news from Bionas
concerning its SC1000
- take a look at Predicting hepatotoxic effects of drugs, chemicals
which says: "Bionas and Primacyt are to cooperate on cell-based assay for prediction of hepatotoxic effects of drugs and chemicals".
Take a look also at the news release from Cellomics Europe, Cellomics offers customers expanded HCS training,
as well as Guava receives prestigious technology award from Guava Technologies,
and In vitro profiling of cell metabolic activity from Bionas.
