Operetta Imaging Platform (PerkinElmer)

The Operetta is a powerful yet simple imaging platform. 

 
  THP1 cells (DAPI stained) and THP1 cells infected with MCherry Mtb

 

 

 

 

It can be used for performing assay development, genome-wide siRNA, compound screens or just for looking at samples in great detail.  If using 3D disease models, primary cells, stem cells, live or fixed cells, the LSTM Operetta High Content Imaging System delivers all the features needed to generate unbiased, statistically significant data. The user-friendly software allows images and data to be analysed rapidly and remotely.

The high content imaging platform is routinely used for medium (100,000) compound screens against intracellular pathogens (e.g. Tuberculosis).
