About Phenotypic Screening
Phenotypic Screening is an AI screening method based on cell morphology. In conventional approach, checking morphology of cells is too laborious to check all of them. Under limited conditions, conventional tests execute only 300~500 cells in one test. If you use our method, it is possible to recognize and categorize cells based on their morphology therefore it unlocked such laborious tasks and made it possible to find precise effects on the overall trend of cells and subtle differences of cells. By combination of conventional screening technology with our AI technology opens up finding novel drugs.
