## Notice

ImageXpress Micro Confocal High Content Screening System

### Procurement Information

A growing area of need within the Cancer centre is to increase the capacity of high content imaging to support routine genomic and drug screening activities across both 2-dimensional (2D) and new emerging 3-dimensional (3D) assays and to provide advanced image-informatics that overcome existing data analysis bottlenecks but which also provide us with the capability to characterize and quantify unknown/unanticipated phenotypic outcomes across both standard 2D and emerging 3D models such as organoids.
