Ion channels are essential membrane-bound proteins that control the movement of ions, such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride, across cell membranes and are responsible for the regulation of numerous fundamental physiological processes. In pharmacology, ion channels serve as targets for a wide range of medical conditions, including cardiovascular disorders, neurological conditions, and pain management. Moreover, mutations that affect ion channel activity can lead to channelopathies like long QT syndrome, epilepsy, or cystic fibrosis. ION Biosciences was founded to provide better tools for studying ion channels, such as fluorescent ion indicators, in order to illuminate their roles in cell biology and uncover new modulators for these important membrane proteins.

Our CHO-K1 Kv11.1 (hERG) Recombinant Cell Line is a high-performance, stably expressing cell for cardiotoxicity screening and hERG drug discovery. Validated using fluorescence-based assays, like Brilliant Thallium Assay, and Automated Patch Clamp (APC) platforms, including the SyncroPatch 384, this essential cell line provides complete coverage for your hERG screening needs.
hERG channels (Kv11.1, KCNH2) are essential for cardiac repolarization, and their inhibition is a primary concern in drug safety assessment due to the risk of long QT syndrome and potential fatal arrhythmias. Given the FDA’s stringent CiPA (Comprehensive in Vitro Proarrhythmia Assay) guidelines, rigorous hERG screening is a critical step in drug development to identify off-target cardiac effects.
Be sure to check out our Brilliant Thallium Assay for a no-wash, high throughput formatted kit, suitable for voltage-gated potassium channels.
