THALLIUM-FREE POTASSIUM CHANNEL ASSAYS

ION’s thallium-free potassium channel assays measure potassium flux, providing a safer formulation with equally robust screening windows.

  • Kv1.3 inhibition assays using Thallium-free hERG Potassium Channel Assay (top left) and Brilliant Thallium (top right)
  • Matched potencies across HTS platforms.

SLC TRANSPORTER ASSAYS

Sodium-dependent SLC Transporter Assays can measure the activity of electroneutral transporters, unlike membrane potential assays.

Sodium-dependent SLC Transporter Assays can distinguish substrates from inhibitors, unlike radiolabeled and fluorescently-labeled substrate assays.
