Neurite Outgrowth (NEO)

The Neurite Outgrowth Assay (NEO) is a fully automated and validated software package for quantifying neurite outgrowth of neuronal cell cultures (cell lines and primary cells). The neuronal network is quantified by a variety of features to characterize different aspects of the neurite culture. Features include neurite length, number of neurites/cell, number of positive cells, branching, … These cover assay aspects such as toxicity, network formation and neurite outgrowth. Flexibility is guaranteed as the software is able to analyse one-channel and/or multi-channel combinations of bright field and fluorescence images.

The image importer tool allows using images from divers scanning stations. But you can also send your samples to our service lab, where we can record and analyse them.

• Includes a powerful visualisation module for quick reviewing of analysed data
• Assures excellent neurite detection and quantification by a combination of a state-of-the-art imaging algorithm and an extensive panel of cell and neurite related parameters
• Algorithm settings can simply be adjusted to assure correct analysis of a wide range of cell types and images
