A system and method that images biological samples and uses chromophores to analyze the imaged samples. The chromophore analysis can be done by itself or in conjunction with fluorophore analysis in High Content Imaging systems. To perform chromophore analysis the biological samples can be labeled with different chromophores and imaged using transmitted light that is at least partially absorbed by the chromophores. To also perform fluorophore analysis the samples can also be labeled with fluorophores that are excited by excitation light. The chromophore analysis and fluorophore analysis can be performed separately or concurrently using a High Content Imaging system. The system provides the expanded capability by illuminating the chromophore-labeled samples with transmitted light of different wavelengths and automatically detecting the images which represent the differential absorption of the colored lights by the sample.

A system and method that images biological samples and uses chromophores to analyze the imaged samples. The chromophore analysis can be done by itself or in conjunction with fluorophore analysis in High Content Imaging systems. To perform chromophore analysis the biological samples can be labeled with different chromophores and imaged using transmitted light that is at least partially absorbed by the chromophores. To also perform fluorophore analysis the samples can also be labeled with fluorophores that are excited by excitation light. The chromophore analysis and fluorophore analysis can be performed separately or concurrently using a High Content Imaging system. The system provides the expanded capability by illuminating the chromophore-labeled samples with transmitted light of different wavelengths and automatically detecting the images which represent the differential absorption of the colored lights by the sample.

METHODS TO ASSESS ENZYME ACTIVITY USING MASS SPECTROMETRIC IMMUNOASSAY
Methods to assess biological enzyme activity directly in a complex clinical sample. To such a sample, e.g., plasma, an exogenous synthetic peptide substrate for an enzyme present in the sample and to be assessed is added. The sample then undergoes mass spectrometric immunoassay (MSIA) to monitor the mass spectral profile of the immuno-purified exogenous synthetic peptide substrate directly from the sample. Using the resulting profile, parameters such as enzyme activity and effect of enzyme modulators, including therapeutics administered to an individual for a condition involving the enzyme, may be determined.
