Redistribution* GFP Reporter Cell Lines. Over eighty cell lines for key drug discovery targets.The Redistribution technology monitors the cellular translocation of GFP-tagged proteins in response to drug compounds or other stimuli and allows easy acquisition of multiple readouts from the same cell in a single assay run.In addition to the primary readout, high content assays provide supplementary information about cell morphology, compound fluorescence, and cellular toxicity.

Thermo Scientific Neuroscreen-1* cell line is a neuronal-like cell line optimized for screening. It is a subclone of PC12, a widely used cell line derived from rat pheochromocytoma cells that serves as a standard model system for neurons. Neuroscreen-1 cells display several substantial advantages over PC12 cells, including 50-80% faster growth, no tendency toward cell aggregation, high and accelerated responsiveness to NGF (measurable neurites within 2 days), and excellent performance in screening assays.
