Non-stock Items to Pre-Order with Down Payment; Contact [email protected] for Final Cost and Delivery Schedule Ion Channel Reader ICR series combine atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) with a patented micro sampling technology to accurately measure ion movement in a cell-based assay format. Measuring activity of voltage-gated and ligand-gated ion channels, co-transporters and pumps. high throughput solution to investigate a broad range of membrane proteins including electro neutral targets detect ion movements across membrane proteins through quantifying intracellular and extracellular ion concentrations of interest using AAS. Since ion flux is a direct measure of channel activity, such assays are robust and less sensitive to disturbances, and data are very consistent and predictive of drug potency. Used as a primary screening application for ion channel drug research and development, or as a secondary screen for drug safety evaluation. ICR8100: Suitable for medium throughput screening, 3-4 samples can be analyzed per minute and 96/384 well plates can be used as sample containers. At the same time, the highly sensitive ICR8100 can detect as low as 0.05 ppm Rb+. Even if the detection dosage is as low as 50 uL, the detection sensitivity of ICR8100 is maintained. ICR12000: Suitable for high throughput drug library screening and processing requirements of ion channel targets. fully automated and equipped with a stacker and barcode scanner. At present, handling up to 60,000 sample wells per day.
