Isolated Heart QT Prolongation Assays

If your drug has a positive hERG signal, does it have a QT Risk?

The CT-QT™ Assay is more than a QT Measurement.

Benefits:

  • Paced heart model – No QT correction required.
  • Measures drug effects on isolated rabbit hearts:
    • CT-QT™ Screen: QT only; or
    • CT-QT™: QT, plus contractility (LVP, dP/dtmax & dP/dtmin) & MAPD
    • GLP & non-GLP protocols available
  • Positive & vehicle controls
  • Performed at physiological temperature 37 + 1° C
