Generating kinetic EC50 values using label-free cytotoxicity assays

In this webinar, Dr. Emma Gibbin-Lameira will show how Nanolive’s label-free, non-invasive imaging can be used to quantify dose-dependent responses of HeLa cells to Chloroquine.

Specifically, Dr. Gibbin-Lameira will show that:

  • Dose-dependent experiments can be performed in 96-well plate format over long periods of time (> 2 days), reducing the need for time and labor-intensive multiple fixed-point measurements and eliminating cytotoxic/cytostatic effects arising from the use of labels, dyes, or phototoxic damage
  • Metrics output from Nanolive’s proprietary software, EVE Analytics, can be used to generate statistically robust time-dependent EC50 values based on total dry mass; a metric unique to label-free imaging
  • Sub-cellular spatial resolution combined with high content image analysis can be used to investigate a drugs’ mechanism of action

Take a tea break with Emma and discover how to quantify cell cytotoxicity in 96 WP format label-free

A quick scientific tea break with Communication Specialist Dr. Emma Gibbin-Lameira, where a powerful cytotoxicity case study is presented, showing Nanolive’s unique live cell-based testing and high content analysis in 96-well plate.
Specifically, Dr. Gibbin-Lameira shown that:

  • Multiplexed quantitative descriptors of cell morphology and composition at both the population (field of view) and single cell level can be combined with high spatio-temporal images to evaluate drug responses in parallel, over long periods of time
  • It is possible to quantify dose-response effects of drugs on living cells in a multi-well set-up where different concentrations and different drugs can be tested in parallel.

Tea time with Emma webinar

Label-free cytotoxicity assays: do different cell death stimuli show unique signatures in cell metrics?

In this webinar, Dr. Emma Gibbin-Lameira, Communications Specialist at Nanolive reveals how Nanolive imaging can be used to conduct real-time, automated cytotoxicity assays, without the contribution of photo and cytotoxic methodological artefacts. Specifically, she will:

  • Show high resolution, time-resolved footage of the dynamics of cell death following exposure to six cell death stimuli (extreme shifts in external pH, thermal stress, phototoxicity, oxidative stress, Shikonin and Ebastine)
  • Feature relevant cell metrics and/or close-ups of changes in sub-cellular morphology induced by each experimental condition
  • Discuss which cell metrics are best for distinguishing between different types of cell death

Label-free quantification of cell metabolism: focus on mitochondria and lipid droplets dynamics

In this webinar, Dr. Emma Gibbin-Lameira, Communications Specialist at Nanolive:

  • Shows time-lapse footage of mitochondrial swelling and dysfunction following perturbation.
  • Introduces a cell metric called granularity and discusses whether changes in this measurement could be a signal of stress preceding cell death.
  • Presents a fully quantitative analysis of lipid droplet dynamics in unperturbed cells, starting at the population level and finishing at level of an individual lipid droplet. Correlations between lipid droplet characteristics and other cell morphological traits (e.g. dry mass) are also be featured for the first time.

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.

Unlocking the mysteries of neurite growth in primary cortical neurons: a quantitative approach to live cell imaging

In this webinar, Dr. Emma Gibbin, Communications Specialist at Nanolive shows how label-free imaging can be used to capture and analyze the fine, dynamic details of neurite growth in unperturbed primary cortical neurons. Specifically, Dr. Gibbin shows:

  • a timeline of the morphological changes undifferentiated primary cortical neurones undergo after exposure to neurite stimulation media
  • high-precision segmentations that show it is possible to separate and quantify the responses (e.g. volume, shape, and dry mass) of neurites from the cell body
  • novel behavioural observations from individual neurons

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.
