ASSAY #1
Cell viability assay
Figure1. Comparison of cell viability in two platforms
Head shocked cells(proteins) were stained with Propidium Iodide (PI) and percent of viable cells of in the total population
were analyzed by Arthur™(A) and competitor's product F (B) with two different cell types, Jurkat and U-2 OS.
In all cases, the fluorescence threshold setting was confirmed visually in the image of the Arthur™.
For each cell line, viability results from the Arthur™ were consistent with the results obtained from the competitor's product F.

ASSAY #2
GFP expression assay
Figure2. Comparison of GFP expression profile in two platforms
U-2 OS cells were transfected using the Neon transfection system (from Life Technologies) and 0.25 μg of the five different GFP constructs
and then analyzed on Arthur™ and competitor's product F to determine transfection efficiency.
The histograms in panels A (Arthur™) and C (competitor's product F) show the green fluorescence intensities and counts for the transfected populations.
The percentages of GFP-expressing cells detected with Arthur™ were consistent with the results from the competitor's product F.
'Colored circles' option makes it easy to identify gated cells (Panel B); colored circles represent
: cell expressing GFP (green circles), non-GFP-expressing cells (blue circles).
The image in panel D shows the GFP expressing cells before trypsinization observed with a conventional fluorescence microscope.

ASSAY #3
Annexin V apoptosis
Figure3. Arthur™ allows confirmation of apoptosis assay using the visual display of the samples.
Following 18 hour-treatment of Staurosporine, HeLa cells were stained with apoptosis kit and subjected to Arthur™ and competitor's product F.
Apoptosis Kit contains an annexin V-Alexa Fluor 488 conjugate and PI to differentiate
Live (Annexin V-negative / PI-negative), Dead (PI-positive) and Apoptotic (Annexin V-positive / PI-negative) cells.

ASSAY #4
Cell cycle assay
Figure4. Comparison of cell cycle profiles in two platforms : Arthur™ and competitor's Product F
HeLa cells were treated with Nocodazole (Microtubule-Destabilizer) or Epothilone B (Microtubule-Stabilizer) to arrest cells in G2/M phase.
Cells were fixed with 70% ethanol and stained with Propidium Iodide (PI).
The histograms show the percentages of G0/G1 phase, S phase and G2/M phase of cell cycle analysis for
drug treated HeLa cells on Arthur™ (A) and competitor's product F (B).
The cell cycle analysis of Arthur™ was highly consistent with the results obtained from competitor's product F
