Overview

 

 

Clonogenic Assay Module overview

 

The clonogenic assay (or colony formation assay) is an in vitro cell survival assay that evaluates the ability of single cells to survive treatment and reproduce to form colonies. Using the Omni devices, you can monitor colony growth over days or weeks, not limiting data acquisition to a singular time point.

Metrics provided by the Clonogenic Assay Module:

  • >> Count - number of colonies formed
  • >> Size (µm2) - average area/size of colonies
  • >> Circularity - average colony circularity
