Budapest Hungary,  May 20, 2008. Dr. Andrea Holme and Professor Shazib Pervaiz of the National University of Singapore were awarded a prize from the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry (ISAC) for their paper, “Automated laser scanning cytometry:  A powerful tool for multi-parameter analysis of drug-induced apoptosis.”  The award, presented at the May 2008 ISAC Congress in Budapest, recognized the work as the best paper to be published during 2007 in the Society’s professional journal, Cytometry, Part A.

Their publication describes the use of slide-based cytometry, specifically CompuCyte’s iGeneration laser scanning cytometry (LSC) technology, for high-content analysis. The authors provide illustrations of how the technology’s combined cytometric and imaging capabilities can be successfully applied to the evaluation of target drugs, obtaining both image analyses and quantification of cellular events.
