Optics-free Imaging for Drug Discovery

Real-time, high resolution, live-cell assays using our electronic platform

CMOS-powered Measurement and Manipulation

By designing and developing cell culture plates with embedded high-density electronic systems, our technology will accelerate the drug discovery pipeline in broad therapeutic areas towards the IND stage (Investigational New Drug Application).

KINETICS

Investigate mechanism of actions, cellular growth and death, or movement

CELL MANIPULATION

Create customized wound healing assays or form repeatable co-cultures

BARRIER FUNCTION

Perform spatial TEER measurements to accurately assess cell-cell junction integrity

REDOX METABOLISM

Visualize metabolic state of cells, investigate oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, or mechanism of cell-death

ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY

Measure & stimulate the electrical signals of excitable cells such as cardiomyocytes or neuron

Multi-parametric

Combining cell kinetics, barrier function, metabolic state, electrophysiology measurements and manipulations from the same cell culture

Live-cell

Delivering non-invasive and label free measurements through the whole duration of the assay – quality data extracted from living cells as they culture

High-resolution

Generating optics-free images to understand what is happening down to a single cell – overcome traditional whole-well aggregate readouts
