The high-content interrogation of single cells with platforms optimized for the multiparameter characterization of cells in liquid and solid biopsy samples can enable characterization of heterogeneous populations of cells ex vivo. Doing so will advance the

How measurement science can improve confidence in research results

April 23, 2018
Author(s)
Anne L. Plant, Chandler A. Becker, Robert J. Hanisch, Ronald F. Boisvert, Antonio M. Possolo, John T. Elliott
The concepts and methods of measurement science can help provide clarity in the definition of reproducibility and its role in the scientific process. The qualities of rigorous research include reproducibility as one component, but there are other important

A novel measure and significance testing in data analysis of cell image segmentation

April 20, 2017
Author(s)
Jin Chu Wu, Michael W. Halter, Raghu N. Kacker, John T. Elliott, Anne L. Plant
Background: Cell image segmentation (CIS) is an essential part of quantitative imaging of biological cells. Designing a performance measure and conducting significance testing are critical for evaluating and comparing the CIS algorithms for image-based

Surface plasmon resonance microscopy: achieving a quantitative optical response

September 8, 2016
Author(s)
Alexander W. Peterson, Michael W. Halter, Anne L. Plant, John T. Elliott
Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) allows real-time label-free imaging based on index of refraction, and changes in index of refraction at an interface. SPRI can be carried out on a microscope by launching light into a sample, and collecting

Standards for cell line authentication and beyond

June 14, 2016
Author(s)
Jamie L. Almeida, Kenneth D. Cole, Anne L. Plant
Different genomic technologies have been applied to cell line authentication, but only one method (short tandem repeat profiling) has been the subject of a comprehensive standard (ASN-0002). Here we discuss the power of this document, and why standards

Strategies for Achieving Measurement Assurance for Cell Therapy Products

June 1, 2016
Author(s)
Carl G. Simon Jr., Anne L. Plant, Sumona Sarkar, John T. Elliott, Sheng Lin-Gibson
Cell therapy products (CTPs) need quantitative, validated, and robust assays to support informed decision making during their development, manufacturing, and regulation. These products, the materials involved in their production and the methods for

Large-scale Time-lapse Microscopy of Oct4 Expression in Human Embryonic Stem Cell Colonies
