This article explores the pivotal role of artificial intelligence (AI) in optimizing transfection efficiency measurements within the context of 2D cell culture studies. Precise and reliable transfection efficiency measurements for 2D cell culture are key for understanding cellular mechanisms. A high transfection efficiency of the targeted proteins is crucial for experiments including live-cell imaging and protein purification. Manual estimation is inconsistent and unreliable. With the power of AI, efficient and reliable transfection studies can be achieved.

Optimize transfection efficiency measurement with AI

The strategic development of AI algorithms is important for precise transfection efficiency measurements. These algorithms may be either pre-trained with prior knowledge or custom trained for unique experimental conditions. Factors like cell morphology, fluorescence intensity, and background noise should be considered to gain insights on cellular dynamics.

AI versus manual evaluation

Cases which show AI effectiveness for transfection-efficiency measurements are discussed. Transfection efficiency was measured using the Mateo FL microscope. AI both elevates measurement precision and streamlines the workflow compared to manual estimations.

Impact on upstream workflows

Beyond optimizing transfection efficiency measurements, AI also helps streamline upstream workflows for the purification, isolation, and extraction of proteins, microscopy imaging, and flow cytometry. For example, AI algorithms can predict optimal conditions for protein purification based on data, reducing trial and error. Concerning imaging, AI enables automated analysis of images, resulting in faster extraction of meaningful information.
