Calcium Assay Kit for GPCR Screening

Molecular Devices introduced its next-generation no-wash calcium flux assay the FLIPR Calcium 4 Assay Kit. Molecular Devices cell based, no-wash calcium kits, first introduced in 1999, have become the standard for GPCR screening in laboratories worldwide. This new kit includes a masking technology licensed exclusively by Molecular Devices from Bayer. The FLIPR Calcium Assay Kits Calcium, Calcium 3 and now Calcium 4 use homogenous mix-and-read, no-wash protocols. These kits accurately and easily detect intracellular calcium flux from different cell types and receptors. The kits offer different formulations to address a broad range of targets, including challenging systems, such as chemokines, for small peptides, and transient, endogenous and low-expression receptors that are difficult to assay with standard methods.
