Tecan’s Infinite® M1000 multimode microplate reader has enabled scientists in the Department of Cellular Biology and Anatomy at Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU), USA, to develop a high throughput system for reporter-based drug screening assays in living zebrafish disease models1. Dr Jeff Mumm, Assistant Professor at GHSU, explained: “Quantitative microplate reader systems have revolutionized the pace of drug discovery, enabling the development of reporter-based in vitro and in silico assays that allow high throughput screening (HTS). However, biological validation has become a bottleneck in the drug discovery process, due to a lack of HTS-compatible in vivo assay platforms. Quantifying reporter levels in living zebrafish provides a versatile means of alleviating this road block.”
