Using high-throughput automated patch clamp electrophysiology to identify novel TREK-1 modulators in an animal venom library

Poster Description

We developed a high-throughput, electrophysiological assay of TREK-1 function to identify novel modulators. The assay was optimized to identify both activators and inhibitors, providing comprehensive mechanistic data for high value, limited supply screening libraries, such as the venom fraction library used in this study (Targeted Venom Discovery Array, T-VDA, Venomtech, UK).

Assessing the variability of hERG data generated using a mock action potential waveform and automated patch clamp platforms

The HESI Cardiac Safety Committee present results from an international ion channel research study that assessed the variability of hERG data generated using automated patch clamp platforms (QPatch 48, Qube 384 and the SyncroPatch 384i) across four different labs.
