How Creative Biolabs' Patch Clamp Service Can Assist Your Project
Creative Biolabs' Patch Clamp Service provides comprehensive solutions for ion channel research, from assay development to data analysis. We deliver actionable insights to drive your drug discovery programs forward.
Workflow
Creative Biolabs' Patch Clamp Service follows a streamlined and rigorous workflow, ensuring high-quality data and efficient project completion. Here's a detailed look at the process:
Project Consultation and Planning
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your specific research goals, target ion channels, and experimental design requirements. Our electrophysiology experts tailor the assay to your needs. Clients typically provide target ion channel information, test compounds and concentrations, and specific experimental conditions or protocols.
Cell Preparation and Assay Development
We prepare the appropriate cell system for your assay, including established, custom-developed, or primary cells. We optimize cell culture conditions to ensure optimal expression of the target ion channel. This generates a robust and reliable cell-based assay system expressing the target ion channel.
Electrophysiological Recordings
We perform patch clamp recordings using our state-of-the-art NeuroST™ platform. Our experienced electrophysiologists conduct experiments, applying precise voltage protocols and recording ion channel currents in response to test compounds. Both manual and automated patch clamp techniques are provided to maximize data quality and record high-resolution ion channel activity.
Data Analysis and Interpretation
Our team of experts analyzes the recorded data using specialized software. We quantify the effects of test compounds on the ion channel activity, including current amplitude, kinetics, and voltage dependence. We also perform quality control checks to ensure data integrity. Dose-response curves, IC50 values, and kinetic parameters can also be calculated.
Report Delivery and Consultation
We provide a comprehensive report summarizing the experimental results, data analysis, and interpretation. We also offer consultation services to discuss the findings, answer your questions, and help integrate the data into your drug discovery program. Clients receive a detailed written report, raw and processed data files, and graphical representations of the data. The typical timeframe for this service ranges from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on project complexity and scope.
