The Facility has a Molecular Devices ImageXpress HT.ai which is a confocal and wide-field imaging system specifically designed to image cells cultured in standard format multi-well plates (although it can also image cells on slides). The HT.ai is equipped with a robotic plate loader which significantly increases the throughput capability of the system. Potential applications for this system include live/dead analysis, cell cycle analysis, apoptosis, cytoplasmic/ nucleus translocation assays, DNA damage, tube formation (angiogenesis), neurite outgrowth, micronucleus assays, morphometric analysis (tubulin) and cell migration.
