Accelerated Ion Channel Drug Discovery

BioFocus DPI enhances its proven ion channel cell line generation and screening service by expanding the automated electrophysiology laboratory. The addition of a second IonWorks Quattro means that electrophysiology-based ion channel screening capacity now exceeds 30,000 data points per week. This enhanced throughput, complemented by the introduction of high quality 16 channel whole-cell patch-clamp follow up ­using PatchXpress, means BioFocus DPI can further reduce timelines from hit to lead.
