clonogenic assays: what, why and how

A clonogenic assay, also known as a colony formation assay, is an in vitro cell survival assay. It assesses the ability of single cells to survive and reproduce to form colonies. This blog highlights: Clonogenic assay applications. How to perform a clonogenic assay with important considerations to make along the way. Quantifying your colonies and plotting a survival curve. Using label-free microscopy and confluence detection as an alternative, time and cost effective clonogenic assay protocol

Live-cell imaging: keeping cells happy and healthy

A central challenge in live-cell imaging maintaining physiological cell behavior. Specimens removed from their native source may exhibit morphological or behavioral changes. Cell health and behavior can be controlled during imaging by keeping cells in a culture system that closely resembles their physiological growth environment.
