title: Dynamic monitoring of cellular metabolic activity in combination with live cell imaging.
abstract: We present an automated analysis of the cellular dynamic metabolic activity in combination with live cell imaging, an essential factor for understanding the fundamental cellular physiological responses. For that purpose, we utilized the Intelligent Microplate Reader, a new analysis platform for marker-free cell-based assays in real-time. To demonstrate the benefit of the platform, we analyzed the relationship between various dynamic cell parameters (extracellular acidification, oxygen uptake, cell morphology, cell density and cell migration) of L929, a mouse fibroblast cell line, under the influence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. The dynamic kinetics of the monitored parameters are consistent and revealing much information about the activity occurring in the cells.
