Label-free analysis of living cell populations reveals controlled phenotypic variation among single cells
In this webinar, Dr. Emma Gibbin, Communications Specialist at Nanolive:
• Compares the variability of isolated single cells with the variability of single cells in a large population to determine whether heterogeneity is driven by internal or external factors.
• Examines how the variability of individual traits change over time in unperturbed cells.
• Analyzes how cells respond to perturbations in intracellular trafficking and respiration to determine whether targeting different systems induces/reduces the phenotypic variation of single cells in a population.

Product Launches
LIVE Cytotoxicity Assay
The LIVE Cytotoxicity Assay is an AI-powered digital assay with fluorescent labelling that monitors the responses of different cell lines in co-culture simultaneously. Acquire and visualize data in 96-well plates with Nanolive’s 3D Cell Explorer 96focus imaging platform.
Fluorescence quantification is used in combination with AI-analysis to separate cells into subpopulations, before analysis. This allows death kinetics to be calculated over time, for each subpopulation, including the rate of cell death, and the numbers of living, apoptotic, and necrotic cells. Subpopulations can be used to monitor separate responses in different cell lines, or for monitoring groups of cells from the same cell line.
This allows for more biologically relevant in vitro experiments that more accurately represent the in vivo condition, meaning improved translatability of data to the clinical stage.
