Biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies often rely on robots and automation to screen for potential drug candidates and interaction partners. Flow cytometry has become a perfect partner to these high throughput systems, as the flow cytometer allows for multiparameter analysis of thousands of cells in a matter of seconds. Miltenyi Biotec has recently partnered with Tecan, one of the leaders is lab automation, to establish a high throughput flow cytometric end-point measurement system featuring the MACSQuant Analyzer.
The MACSQuant Analyzer assays in Drug Discovery and High Throughput include:
Functional assays in cell based screening
Proliferation and Viability
Apoptosis
Cell Cycle
Differentiation
Drug discovery
Development of Media
Novel cell-based assays
