Abstract

This new Insight Pharma report from Cambridge Healthtech Institute delivers the data and the analysis you need to stay on top of this fast-changing market:
  • Quantitative survey (N=60) of the practices, plans, and views of researchers involved with HCA
  • Market segmentation and forecast ($ share by application, by company, and by IT/hardware/reagents)
  • Thorough review of HCA technologies and applications, including new developments and challenges
  • Total cost of ownership analysis
  • Main market drivers and barriers
  • Thought-leader interviews with leading researchers in industry and academia
  • Position of the dominant players such as Cellomics/Fisher, GE, MDS, BD, and Evotec; and of up-and-coming smaller players
High content analysis (HCA) is the convergence between cell-based assays, high-resolution fluorescence imaging, automation and advanced image processing and analysis software. It has been widely adopted in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries for target identification and validation and as secondary screens to reveal potential toxicities or to elucidate a drug’s mechanism of action. In particular, HCA has made inroads into R&D applications where high throughput screening (HTS) has proven inadequate, such as measuring multiple biological pathways simultaneously, or revealing off-target drug effects. HCA has stepped into this void by demonstrating how particular proteins are affected by the application of a molecule to the cell line of interest.
