Drug Discovery

Pharmaceutical companies use cell models for their research as an alternative to animal experiments and for more precise evaluation of drug efficacy. In recent years, 3D cell models called spheroids, organoids, and “body-on-a-chip” have been engineered and applied to pharmaceutical research. We provide not only conventional brightfield observation solutions but also confocal microscopes and multiphoton excitation microscopes for deep specimen image acquisition, enabling high-resolution observation of 3D structures. To prepare for cell model construction, it is important to keep the quality and number of cells constant, so we also offer reliable cell culture solutions. Our slide loader system and analysis solutions can acquire high-speed, high-resolution images of an entire section of tissue for high-precision pharmacology and drug efficacy analysis.
