Genedata Screener®, an open and scalable enterprise solution for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS), will be completely integrated into the center’s HTS workflows.
The Drug Discovery Center is working on molecular probes for application in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and needed a software solution to manage and analyze their small molecule screening campaigns. The Screener platform combines enterprise-wide assay data management with high-performance processing workflows and flexible analysis tools to rapidly analyze, integrate and manage all assay data, independent of instrumentation, technology, volume or location.
“The Screener system from Genedata matched our screening and analysis workflows and is easy to use. Users can start working with Screener on the fly and need very little additional IT support,” explained Dr. Sandra Nelson, Director of High Throughput Screening and Research Associate Professor at the University of Cincinnati. “Another key feature for us is the automated quality control which has reduced analysis and review time from days to mere hours per screen.“
Dr. Othmar Pfannes, CEO of Genedata, stated, “Genedata is excited to be working with the Drug Discovery Center to help forward their innovative research in screening of small molecules and cell-based assays. We are pleased to continue to provide tailored solutions for a broad range of applications including academic research projects.”
