High-content imaging controls and quality metrics
(A) Brightfield and fluorescent images of experiment positive and negative controls. Hoechst is used to identify the nuclei of all cells, Caspase-3/7 activated reagent is used to identify apoptotic cells, and TO-PRO-3 is used to identify all dead cells. Scale bar: 200 μm.
(B) Viability values from positive and negative control well replicates are used to assess assay quality by Z′-factor (left) and coefficient of variance (right). Each point represents the Z′-factor or coefficient of variance for each experiment plate from the 351-compound screen described in the companion publication (Larsen et al., 2021).
