Confirming the efficacy of nutraceuticals and functional food is a key for the development of new compounds. In vitro assays play a role in researching and developing new actives ingredients dedicated to human and animals food. Using our automated imaging plateform, you can choose the better in vitro assays to validate your claims and screen a lot of samples, evaluating effects of food formulation and processing conditions, investigating the possible mechanisms behind the biological actions of food factors, and prepare your marketing campaign with deep cell data analysis and relevant images.
