Abstract

Efforts in combinatorial materials science at NIST have evolved into three interwoven toolsets for exploring cell response to materials: material library preparation, high-throughput screening, and statistical treatment of population distributions. As the material library available for investigating cell-biomaterial interactions continues to expand, image acquisition and analysis have been exposed as bottlenecks in the high-throughput approach. Furthermore, sampling biases inherent to imaging techniques are amplified as gradient samples are used to facilitate the exploration of a large parameter space. High throughput image acquisition and analysis techniques are now being refined and applied to several material systems. We will report results from these investigations, including a rigorous statistical analysis comparing several parametric and nonparametric tests.
