Leica HCS A for Automated High Content Screening
19 February 2010

From Fast Multiwell Plate Screening to High Content Information
From Research Question to Research Result
Amplify the Power of Imaging
Benefit from more than a powerful imaging tool when you make the Leica TCS SP5, Leica TCS LSI or Leica TCS SPE your high content screening system!
High resolution, fast scanning, and intelligent automation provide more content as the basis for superior statistical analysis.
The combination of Leica HCS A with sophisticated image analysis using the Open Microscopy Environment (OME) for real time data exchange results in comprehensive insight and amplifies the scope of your life science research!
High Content Screening (HCS) is the answer to the change from descriptive to quantitative fluorescence imaging in Life Science research.
More and more statistically relevant data are required and the experiments are becoming more complex.
High resolution imaging automation answers complex questions in shorter time: Cell biology, Genetics, Drug discovery & testing, Systems biology.
High Content Screening automation discloses interrelationships in cells and
organisms efficiently. Leica Microsystems offers a set of innovative tools to
complement your high-resolution microscope into a high content imaging device.

The New Leica TCS SPE - Unique in its Class of Confocal Microscopes
Mannheim, Germany. Leica Microsystems has released its new high resolution spectral confocal system Leica TCS SPE. True spectral detection across the full emission range makes this system unique in its class of small and compact confocal microscopes.
Optimal resolution is ensured by four solid state lasers from 488 to 635 nm, with a 405 nm option for nuclear staining. The Leica TCS SPE utilizes the brand new Leica ACS (Advanced Correction System) technology for perfect colocalization and maximum transmission.
The Leica TCS SPE requires minimal training and first results are achieved immediately, even by confocal newcomers. In core imaging facilities, the TCS SPE serves as an expertly designed system to increase capacity and to relieve the demands on high end confocal systems.
The Leica TCS SPE is highly integrated, very compact and robust and with its small footprint and standard room requirements the system will fit into any laboratory. Its supply unit is no bigger than a standard PC and provides power, up to four lasers, an integrated PC, and a DVD-drive.
Optimally selected long-life components and robust technology drastically reduce the cost of ownership whilst still providing spectacular confocal images.
