Background:

Multiplexing and high-content readouts offer advanced cellular measurement capabilities.
Single-cell analysis reveals biological variability and cell subpopulations.
Current methods can be enhanced for greater screening efficiency and information yield.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and validate a multiplexed assay for simultaneous assessment of multiple cell lines in a single well.
To evaluate the impact of new chemical entities on differential cell proliferation.
To enhance screening efficiency and reduce costs in compound library screening.

Main Methods:

Utilized Qtracker cell labeling kits for live cell identification.
Employed an Acumen Explorer microplate cytometer for cell proliferation analysis.
Developed a multiplexed high-content screening assay format.

Main Results:

Successfully determined differential cell proliferation rates for individual cell lines within the same well.
Demonstrated the ability to assess drug-induced differential proliferation changes in multiplexed assays.
Validated the scalability of the method for analyzing multiple cell populations.

Conclusions:

Multiplexed high-content assays significantly increase screening efficiency and information obtained.
This approach reduces the overall cost of chemical compound library screening.
The method is adaptable for analyzing more than two cell populations and drug effects.
