high-content screening

High-content screening (HCS) is an advanced method used in biomedical research to analyze the effects of drugs or genetic changes on cells. It combines automated microscopy with sensitive image analysis to observe multiple features of cells simultaneously, such as shape, size, and protein location. This approach allows scientists to quickly gather detailed data from large numbers of samples, helping to identify potential treatments or understand cellular behavior more efficiently. Essentially, HCS provides a comprehensive way to study cells in high detail and volume, supporting drug discovery and biological research.
