CellProfiler: A fit tool for image analysis in droplet microfluidics
Droplet microfluidic assays are rapidly gaining popularity as the result of the ability to manipulate and monitor single biological molecules, individual cells or small populations of bacteria in pico- and nanoliter droplets, with high sensitivity, precision and accuracy in a high-throughput manner. Nonetheless, there is a demand for user-friendly and low-cost droplet analysis technology. In this article we meet this demand with free open-source software CellProfiler (CP). To illustrate the competence of CP as a droplet analysis tool, we show droplet digital quantification of viable fluorescent bacteria.
