Automated Patch Clamp Screening Assays:
104 Ion Channels & Growing HEK and CHO Hosts

FASTPatch
Hundreds of points per day, gigaseals, Raccess < 5MΩ full voltage range,
gating, sensitivity, positive control

System: PatchXpress® 7000A or QPatch automated patch clamp system


Benefits:
  • FASTPatch is fully validated by ChanTest’s expert electrophysiologists
  • For safety and discovery, provides IC50s, use-dependence, on-off drug multi-concentration screening for hERG and other channels

Assay Protocol Positive Control
FASTPatch Proflling Screen Test 1-2 concentrations per compound @ n=2-3, plus positive control per group Tabular results Turnaround time, 1 week 1 concentration @ n=2 per group
FASTPatch IC50 Screen Test 3-4 concentrations per compound @ n=2-3, plus positive control per group Concentration-response curve & IC50 Turnaround time, 1 week 1 concentration @ n=2 per group

Options:

  • FAST & Lite – combines FASTPatch and HERG-Lite
  • Comprehensive screening for both defective trafficking and direct block
