A schematic breakdown of the metabolism gauge of human malignant neoplastic cells using the IMC calscreener in real time. The isothermal calorimeter is intended for measuring the metabolic activity of human malignant neoplastic cells. It operates by putting malignant cells in micro-well plates and monitoring the heat produced as the cells consume nutrients over time when transferred into the calscreener. The resultant data can be used to find possible targets for cancer therapy and to measure the metabolic rate of the cancerous cells in microwatts (W) in real time
