In Cell Analyzer
Hard to believe that cells can have such amazing structures demonstrated by the IN Cell Analyzer is a high-content analysis system that employs image based cellular assays in a high-throughput and analysis format. This allows researchers to increase the number of questions they can ask while simultaneously decreasing the time taken to achieve their results.
GE Health Care Life Science invited IN Cell Analyzer users to submit their images to the IN Cell Image Competition, supported by BioTechniques. This year we have received over 80 fabulous images from researchers’ worldwide, working in areas such as toxicology, cancer and neurology.
Winning image for Asia.
