What Does HCS Stand For?
HCS stands for High Content Screening
High Content Screening (HCS) is an advanced imaging and analysis technique used in drug discovery and biological research to evaluate phenotypic changes in cells or tissues at a high throughput. By combining automated microscopy with sophisticated software, HCS allows for the simultaneous measurement of multiple cellular parameters, facilitating the identification of drug effects, cellular responses, and disease mechanisms. This approach enhances the efficiency of screening large compound libraries and provides richer biological insights, making it a vital tool in modern biomedical research.
