PRODUCT INFORMATION
ICR 12000- High-throughput Drug Screening Technology
The ICR 12000 is designed for ultra-high throughput ion channel screening of compound libraries, incorporating multi-channel sampling and enhanced automation features. Based upon the versatility, precision, and sensitivity of Aurora Biomed’s atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) instruments, the ICR 12000 is suitable for both ligand-gated and voltage-gated ion channels using cell-based flux assays. With the robustness of Aurora Biomed’s ICR technology, the reader offers high sensitivity for both electrogenic and electroneutral channels and transporters. The incredible 60,000 sample per day throughput of the ICR 12000 enables ion channel researchers to access compound QT liability early in the drug discovery process.
