Drug toxicity
The rapid advancement of pharmaceutical therapeutics and biomaterials opened the gate for studying various therapeutic modalities for diseases.
Accurate quantification of drug effects on cells or tissues is crucial for determining the safety, effectivity, and toxicity of drugs or biomaterials.
Q-Phase is a fast and versatile tool for long-term live-cell imaging, ideal for detecting the influence and toxicity of tested drugs or biomaterials. It allows for real-time quantification of multiple cellular parameters within a single experiment.
Due to the label-free technology and the extremely low phototoxicity, the tested agent represents the major variable that affects the behavior of the cell during the experiment.
LiveCodim is the perfect tool for high-resolution visualization of functional aspects of newly developed drugs. The high resolution allows for observing of the drug targeting – from entry within the cells to its trafficking – in a living sample, and thus elucidate fundamental mechanisms of drug activity within cells.
