Fluorescence-Based Screening

Fluorescence-Based Screening

We provide high-throughput ion channel screening using 96- and 384-well formats. Our platform supports a wide range of assay endpoints, including calcium flux, membrane potential and thallium flux, across an extensive panel of validated targets to enable efficient, flexible screening campaigns. 

Electrophysiology Studies

Electrophysiology Studies

Our 384-well automated patch clamp electrophysiology platforms support high-throughput screening and lead optimization profiling. These include solid-supported membrane-based systems, enabling efficient and scalable electrophysiology across a wide range of ion channel targets. 

Manual Patch Clamp Electrophysiology

Manual Patch  Electrophysiology

To complement our high-throughput screening and automated electrophysiology services, we employ classical manual and two-electrode voltage clamp techniques. These methods support mechanistic studies, channel characterization and heterometic subunit investigations for complex ion channel systems.
