High Content and High Throughput Toxicity Screening

Kits designed for Drug Discovery and Development

Our customers have been impressed with the capablities of our in vivo and in vitro apoptosis and toxicity kits. Here's a recent pub referencing use of one of our FLICA™ in vitro Caspase Kits: Giovanna Grandinetti, Nilesh P. Ingle, and Theresa M. Reineke. Interaction of Poly(ethylenimine)–DNA Polyplexes with Mitochondria: Implications for a Mechanism of Cytotoxicity. Mol. Pharmaceutics, Article ASAP Publication Date (Web): June 23, 2011 Copyright © 2011 American Chemical Society...inhibitor of caspases (FLICA) specific for caspase-9 (Neuromics, Inc)...
Images: Jurkat cells were treated with 1 µM staurosporine for 3 hours to induce caspase 9 activity (top), or were treated with a control (bottom). Both populations were incubated with ICT’s green FAM-LEHD-FMK FLICA™ caspase 9 reagent. DIC images were taken of both samples. Almost all cells in the induced sample (top) fluoresce green therefore they have activated caspase 9. None of the control cells (bottom) fluoresce green, therefore they do not have activated caspase 9 Courtesy of Dr. Brian Lee, ICT

Neuromics is pleased to announce the addition of HemoGenix® Predictive in vitro Toxicity and Apoptosis Kits:

Solutions for predictive in vitro toxicity and apoptosis are now important than ever. These kits enable you to do high throughput and high content screening of stem cells, progenitors and primary cells.
Kit options include:

•LumiSTEM™-96 iPS and LumiSTEM™-iPS HT Assays to Study Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPS) and Toxicity to iPS Cells and Cells Derived from iPS Cells.

•LUMENESC™-Tox HT (LUMENESC™-96 Tox and LUMENESC™-384 HT). A Toxicity Screening and Testing Platform for Cells of the Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cell System.

•HALO®-Tox HT Predictive Hemotoxicity Platform using HALO®-96 Tox and HALO®-384 HT. A Highly Predictive, In Vitro Stem and Progenitor Cell Hemotoxicity Screening and Testing Platform for all Stages of Drug Development and Xenobiotic.

I will continue to post regarding progress.
