Table 2.

Representation of the Z’-factor plates. To assess the quality of the screening platform, Z’-factors were determined in dedicated plates before conducting the drug screens. For each virus, two plates with 192 technical replicates of each positive and negative control were infected, and Z’-factors determined for the five screen read-outs by independent imaging at UZH and EPFL (RV and HSV-1 only at UZH) using the formula given in Eq. (1) for 3σ and 2σ.
