Automated Patch Clamp Services
Meeting the higher throughput demands of ion channel screening and early hERG risk assessment, automated patch clamp plays an important role in drug development as well as in other areas of research.
Based on Sophion’s QPatch technology, combined with our long-standing expertise in ion channel research and automation of electrophysiological assays, we offer high-quality ion channel screening together with careful data analysis and thorough data interpretation.
Applications
-
hERG screening service- Detect hERG-related safety issues at early stages in the drug development process.
-
Screening on other voltage-gated and ligand-gated targets- Rely on our long-standing expertise in ion channel research and automation of ion channel assays. Please contact us for specific targets and assay development according to your needs.
-
QPatch outsourcing service- If you have established QPatch assays but limited instrumental capacity our outsourcing service will help you balance the load.
