Agonist and Antagonist Mode

Our automated patch clamp assays quantify both channel activation and inhibition across potassium channel families using single-concentration and cumulative addition protocols. These assays deliver precise kinetic and mechanistic data to support structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and guide lead optimization.

Current-Voltage (IV) Assays

Current-voltage (IV) relationships define key biophysical properties, including activation thresholds, voltage dependence, and recovery kinetics. These high-resolution measurements distinguish direct pore block from gating modulation, providing mechanistic clarity essential for SAR optimization.

Functional Selectivity Across
Potassium Channel Subtypes

Subtype-resolved assays sepa rate on-target from off-target activity for both therapeutic and safety-driven studies. High assay reproducibility and Z’ performance confirm the robustness of our automated patch clamp platform for multi-target screening and selectivity panels.
