The Small Molecule Screening Facility (SMSF) at the University of Wisconsin Madison is a comprehensive high-throughput screening (HTS) centre where researchers have investigated antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections and screening for protein-protein interactions using HTS methods.
Many drugs fail in clinical trials due to toxicity-related issues; therefore, drug-mediated cellular toxicity should be determined at an early stage in the drug discovery value chain. There are many assay systems that can be utilised to measure cellular toxicity. In this article we demonstrate that intracellular ATP concentrations are…
There is substantial interest in the scientific community in using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neural cells to study basic mechanisms of brain development, neuronal function, and drug-induced effects. In vitro-generated brain organoids are promising models, because they show a remarkable degree of maturation and can be kept in…
This technical note demonstrates the feasibility of using the Thermo Scientific™Fluoroskan™ or Fluoroskan FL instruments with the Invitrogen™ Quant-iT™ dsDNAhigh-sensitivity assays. Sensitive and specific quantification of double-stranded DNA is carried out in microplate format. This is part of a series of technical notes aiming to help customers choose the best…
With breakthroughs in molecular engineering and antibody humanisation, monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are one of the fastest-growing classes of biopharmaceuticals for multiple clinical indications including cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders and infectious disease. Most therapeutic antibody candidates are initially generated using hybridoma technology or primary B-cell screening after antigen immunisation.
Drug target identification has a key role in the drug discovery value chain. A critical step in the development of pharmaceuticals is identifying the direct targets of potential drug candidates as well as distinguishing any secondary or off-target effects...

In this webinar, we presented two examples of HTS in 1536-well plates, a screen for protein-protein interactions and a cell-based luciferase reporter assay.
This application note aims to demonstrate the benefits of using orthogonal approaches for studying Staphylococcus aureus biofilms—in particular, their susceptibility to antimicrobial agents...
This webinar shines a spotlight on cell-based and biochemical high-throughput screening in 1536 well plates. Supported by BMG LABTECH, the webinar will take place on 30 October at 4:00pm (GMT).
This webinar, held on 28 June 2018, illustrated the optimisation of hits derived from a target-agnostic phenotypic screen, using a strategy based on combining bioactivity profiling and reference compound characterisation. Keynote speaker Arsenio Nueda, Head of Molecular Biology at Almirall, responded as follows to questions posed during the webinar.
Stem cell-based technologies lay the basis for pioneering approaches in drug screening, toxicology testing, and regenerative medicine. The constant supply of high cell numbers in consistent quality needs scalable culture systems and standardised process conditions.

The data presented in this application note demonstrates how SMARTer ICELL8 Single-Cell System can be used to generate high-quality RNA-seq libraries that provide full-length transcript sequence information from hundreds of single cells in parallel...
Complex biology is a discipline acknowledging that performing biological experiments in vitro should take account of the complexity of the biological context.1 While this may be a noble aim, it has proven difficult to incorporate these elements into the drug discovery process, especially at the high-throughput screening (HTS) stage.2
In this application note, we show how the signal of luciferase and fluorophore were acquired simultaneously with the PHERAstar microplate reader...
