Problem
Drug discovery workflows often rely on low-throughput, manual imaging and analysis, causing delays in data generation and increasing the risk of costly downstream failures. Researchers need faster, high‑resolution imaging that can handle 96‑ to 1536‑well plates while delivering real‑time, analysis‑ready data.
Solution
Araceli Biosciences offers the Endeavor® portfolio of high‑content imaging systems that combine sub‑micron resolution with ultra‑high‑throughput acquisition across 96, 384, and 1536‑well formats. The platforms capture full‑plate images in minutes (e.g., 1536‑well plates in under four minutes) and feed data directly into cloud‑based AI/ML pipelines for immediate, actionable insights. Integrated software—including EndeavorOS acquisition, ClaireRT real‑time monitoring, and Clairvoyance analysis—provides automated quality control, machine‑learning‑driven phenotype extraction, and intuitive visualization, enabling scientists to make rapid decisions and accelerate candidate selection.
Target Audience
Primary customers are pharmaceutical and biotech R&D teams, as well as academic research labs, that require high‑throughput phenotypic screening, cell painting, and live‑cell assays for drug discovery and target validation.
