Sodium-Dependent SLC Transporter Assay

$895.00

ION’s Sodium-dependent SLC Transporter Assay detects SLC transporter activity of SLCs that co-transport sodium, such as the SLC6 transporter family. This assay is ideal for hit finding and lead optimization applications in drug discovery, and can be used to discover substrates, potentiators, and inhibitors of sodium-dependent SLC transporters.

Product Description

ION Biosciences’ Sodium-dependent SLC Transporter Assay utilizes ION Natrium Green 2 (ING-2 AM), a sodium-sensitive fluorescent indicator, to detect solute carrier (SLC) transporter mediated sodium influx. This assay kit provides a highly-sensitive, robust, and high-throughput method to measure SLC transporter activity with benefits including:

  • Measures sodium, the native ion ensuring on target activity.

  • Can be used to identify substrates, potentiators and inhibitors of sodium-dependent SLC transporters.

  • Generates comparable EC50 and IC50 values to electrophysiology.

  • Compatible with electrogenic and electroneutral SLC transporters that cotransport sodium.


Optimized for high-throughput screening in 96- and 384-well formats, ION’s Sodium-dependent SLC Transporter Assay kit ensures reliability and reproducibility, making it ideal for hit finding and lead optimization applications. Backed by ION’s exceptional technical support, this kit simplifies your research workflow by providing ready-to-use buffers and simple protocols designed by the experts you’ve learned to trust.
