High Content Screening and Analysis

Research Process

Scaling Up Innovation

High-Content Screening (HCS) has played a significant role in infectious disease research and drug discovery to date and can be a strong tool in the age of COVID-19 and beyond. With a focus on viral diseases, HCS has been used by laboratories around the world to help with three key interventional strategies: drug re-purposing to fast-track a previously-approved drug to treat new diseases; development of new therapeutics; and vaccine development.

High-Content Analysis for Complex Biology

In contrast to the luxury of screening against a critical single target protein, many of the complex diseases that you need to screen drugs against require a broader view of cell or tissue phenotype. This has led to a significant shift towards multi-dimensional High-Content Analysis (HCA) with spheroids, organoids or tumoroids. There are new and emerging important applications involving High-Content Screening that require sophisticated image analysis methods, scalable from 2D to 3D and even 4D.

The arivis Scientifc Imaging Platform allows for highly scalable and automated assay analysis pipelines on the local workstation as well as server-based or cloud-based processing services. Fully integrated workflows for AI methods such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning can save valuable time for recurring and reproducible imaging analysis tasks. Large data sets from past experiments have typically been safely archived and can be re-analyzed with these new methods to generate new discoveries, thanks to the compatibility with multiple vendor-specific file formats.

Computing Infrastructure

ZEISS arivis Hub is a highly scalable and customizable solution that can be adopted to a wide variety of existing data storage and processing infrastructure, from single department and core facility to campus-wide deployment and distributed data centers for multiple locations in pharma industry. However, there is a rising need for out-of-the-box solutions for image storage and processing particularly for small to mid-size businesses such as startups in biotech, CRO, or newly established academia spin-offs that require cost-efficient, modular solutions with minimal administrative hassles.

This is why arivis recommends the HIVE® modular server platform by ACQUIFER™ for rapid and efficient ZEISS arivis Hub deployment. Designed for the pragmatic, biology-focused scientist, the HIVE platform boosts productivity in microscopy facilities and screening labs. HIVE is a high speed centralized data repository that removes the need to constantly move or duplicate data sets in processing and analysis workflows. Its modular design integrates high speed processing, visualization, remote access, project management, flexibility, data security, scalability and ease of use in one unit.

It saves time, space, costs and administrator workload.

 

Industries Served by the arivis Image Analysis Platfrom

Biotech

3D cell and tissue culture technologies are used more frequently to work with a living organism. 3D cell cultures are replacing the use of expensive animal models. To view and analyse these complex structures arivis developed software tools to help scientists to act faster and get more accurate results.

Pharma

To discover, develop and produce drugs is a time-critical yet complex process, on which  lies the success of a whole industry sector. arivis image analysis platfrom is helping to shorten the evaluation of a new drug by delivering professional, scalable software to analyse and view complex datasets.
