Optimization and automation of the imaging and analysis of Ananda Device’s high-throughput NeuroHTSTM microplate

Ananda Devices has developed an innovative technology to produce high-throughput organ-on-chip technology for commercialization in the pharma industry and cosmetic industry. For cost effective and fast commercializing the device, semi automation/automation is required for the high throughput data analysis. Further validation of the automation algorithm is required for data accuracy. So, our aim is to develop and validate the automation strategies to be used for analysis of high through put imaging of the Neuro-HTS device, more specifically analysis of neuronal growth, cell counts, connectivity and degeneration.
