1 High content imaging and applications Nick Dolman Ph.D. Senior Staff Scientist Biosciences Division- Thermo Fisher Scientific For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures. The world leader in serving science

2 Agenda for today s talk Part II high-content imaging and applications Why use high-content imaging Applications of high content imaging Antibody-drug conjugates Phenotypic profiling Stem cell applications Stem cell ID Neuronal differentiation 2

3 Why use fluorescence microscopy Markers of defined structures & processes Space Time Co-localization Pros: examine localization and abundance of molecules in cells Cons: Low throughput and laborious quantification 3

4 Throughput and quantification The world leader in serving science

5 Automated acquisition Multiple channels 5

6 Automated acquisition Multiple wells within plates Rapid, unbiased acquisition of large numbers of cells Relevant and robust view of the heterogeneity within a populaiton 6
