Lab Notes Newsletter

Welcome to the October edition of our Lab Notes Newsletter!

For 40 years, we’ve helped scientists harness the full potential of biology with next-generation technology. Here we share the latest in automated, end-to-end solutions that span research disciplines to advance scientific discovery and improve the quality of human life worldwide.

SCALE UP DRUG SCREENING

Cell painting is a powerful approach for phenotypic profiling

Deriving phenotypic profiles from the cell painting assay has widespread applications—such as drug development—for its superior ability to evaluate compound effects and find potential drug candidates. Screens with large compound libraries can benefit from the cell painting assay to find changes in cellular morphology associated with diseases.?However, the huge amount of data generated from this assay can be overwhelming.

Simplify the cell painting assay and enable rapid data analysis for high-content phenotypic profiling.?Read more about the benefits of using the cell painting assay to study the effects of chemical or genetic perturbations on cell morphology to gain deeper insights into the effects of multiple compounds on cell biology.

The Future of Disease Modeling for Precision Medicine?

In case you missed it, or would just like to re-watch the event, the recent webinar, The Future of Disease Modeling for Precision Medicine,?is?now available to view on-demand.

In this webinar, brought to you by The Scientist and Molecular Devices, Elizabeth A. Proctor, PhD, will explore?advanced cell culture approaches?that help scientists streamline workflows, overcome the complexities of 3D biology, and promote drug discovery and precision medicine.

Key takeaways include:

• How human-derived cerebral organoid models of Alzheimer’s disease enable discovery and therapeutic screening
• How studies of brain organoid microglia inform synaptic health, disease states, and drug target discovery
• The promise of iPSC-derived brain organoids for precision medicine testing of therapeutics against a patient’s own cells

NEW LAUNCH

We are excited to announce the launch of SoftMax Pro 7.3.1 Software and SoftMax Pro 7.3.1 GxP Software Suite!

SoftMax? Pro 7.3.1 Standard and GxP Software include several new features, formula updates, and enhancements, which are explained below.?

Key features included in the GxP edition:

• The system Audit Trail can now be exported to a .csv format.
• Document Security enhanced to ensure all changes to SoftMax Pro documents can occur only within the application.
• Open dialog window now displays only the folder and documents from the Project user are logged into.

Key features included in the Standard and GxP edition:

• The Formula Editor Check Syntax function and formula syntax have been improved to prevent an error that occurred due to the number of parentheses in the formula. This error became apparent after a user updated the SoftMax Pro Software from a version prior to 7.3.
• EZinCert information can now be copied and pasted from Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.

For a detailed description on each of these new additions to this version, please refer to the?Release Notes.?
