Cell imaging-based high content analysis (HCA) and high content screening (HCS) are essential tools in many areas of life science research and drug discovery.

Established analytical techniques for cellular research are typically destructive and time-consuming. They limit the number and complexity of assays that can be performed and make it difficult to understand the true biological context of the results. Conversely, high content analysis employs image based cellular assays in a high throughput imaging and analysis format. This allows researchers to increase the number of questions they can ask whilst simultaneously decreasing the time taken to achieve their results.
