Workflow
1. Assay Design and Customization
Based on your project needs, our experts design the most appropriate assays, choosing from a wide range of available technologies, such as Calcium Flux, Luciferase Reporter, or Tag-lite Binding Assays. The design phase includes optimizing experimental parameters like cell line selection, ligand concentrations, and detection methods.
2. Sample Preparation and Pre-Testing
We begin by preparing the necessary materials, including constructing stable cell lines expressing the GPCRs of interest or sourcing the compounds to be tested. If required, we can also perform any pre-tests to validate the cell line's responsiveness and ensure experimental feasibility.
3. High-Throughput Screening and Data Collection
Using our high-throughput screening platform, we run the assays, exposing the GPCRs to various ligands and collecting data on receptor activity and ligand binding. Real-time monitoring ensures that any anomalies or issues are detected promptly and can be addressed immediately.
4. Data Analysis, Interpretation, and Reporting
Once the assays are complete, we conduct detailed data analysis, focusing on key metrics such as binding affinity, receptor activation, and signaling pathway engagement. We provide you with comprehensive reports, including graphical representations of the data, insights into the efficacy of your compounds, and any recommendations for further experiments.
5. Post-Analysis Consultation and Follow-Up
After data delivery, we offer a consultation to discuss the findings, answer any questions, and assist you in making informed decisions on next steps for your research. If needed, we can adjust the experimental design for subsequent rounds of testing or move forward with hit validation.
