We have developed a robust high-throughput automated electrophysiology assay using a monoclonal CHO-hNav1.9 cellular reagent suitable for fully supporting a Nav1.9 discovery program.
Ion channels play a key role in regulating resting membrane potential and cell excitability and are attractive targets for therapeutic intervention.
Thallium (Tl+) flux assays, which measure the flow of Tl+ through potassium channels, offer a high throughput method for the identification of potassium channel activators. However, these assays are a surrogate for channel function and it is important to have an appropriate panel of orthogonal and translational electrophysiology assays in place to confirm activity at the channel of interest.

Metrion and Sophion present findings that determine whether other insoluble salts can act as seal enhancers and how these solution pairs affect the biophysical properties and pharmacology of the investigated ion channels.
