Table 1.

Speck assay 81,000 high-throughput screening metrics.

Metric Specification (Spec) Average (across all plates) SD
Robust Z′ (positive control, MCC950 5 µM) > 0.6 0.9 0.1
Robust Z′ (positive control, MCC950 50 nM = IC50) > 0.2 0.6 0.2
SSMD > 5 24 13.6
% CV (negative control, maximum speck number) < 10 5 2.3

Assay plates were subjected to quality control analysis, evaluating the performance of each plate using positive (MCC950 50 nM and 5 µM) and negative (vehicle, DMSO) controls. The quality assay control acceptance criteria selected were robust Z′ > 0.6 (MCC950 5 µM; maximum speck number reduction), robust Z′ > 0.2 (MCC950 50 nM = IC50). SSMD > 5, % CV < 10% (negative control, maximum speck number). Screening metric averages and standard deviations across plates are shown.
