    What is the FDSS®/μCELL?

    The FDSS/μCELL is a compact, easy to use screening system that enables monitoring of GPCRs and ion channels for drug discovery and life science research. Screening various compounds at high throughput (96 / 384 well assays) is enabled by fluorescence or luminescence measurements using a highly sensitive Hamamatsu camera, which captures cell dynamics under the same conditions with no time lag between wells. It is also capable of recording changes in electrical potential in iPSC-derived neuronal and cardiac stem cells to gain a better understanding of toxic compound effects.

    Webinar: Cell Therapies: Bench to Bedside - Hamamatsu's High Throughput Screening (HTS) of stem cells using the FDSS®/μCELL

     

     

    This webinar discusses how the FDSS®/μCELL can benefit research in the field of cell therapy using two case studies as examples: one on disease modelling using cardiomyocytes to investigate diabetes and another using the unique Electric Field Stimulation (EFS) function of the FDSS®/μCELL to look at the characteristics of myoblasts. This short video clip should give you an idea of how you can carry out your cell therapy research using the FDSSµcell at the Medical Technologies Innovation Facility (MTIF) facility.

     

    Webinar: Cell Therapies: Bench to Bedside - Medical Technologies Innovation Facility (MTIF)'s part in accelerating cellular therapies

     

     

    A talk given by Professor John Hunt, from the Medical Technologies Innovation Facility (MTIF) on how cell therapies could be the magic bullet for treating many different and previously intractable diseases. John speaks about how creating a new cell therapy can be fraught with complexities, from sourcing, growing and transporting cells, and the ways MTIF use their understanding of cellular interactions with substrates and tools such as the FDSS®/μCELL to evaluate in-vitro biocompatibility at their facility.
