FDSS/µCELL Functional Drug Screening System
FDSS/μCELL is a laboratory screening system that compactly integrates technologies developed in drug discovery screening, enabling a purpose-built system that is simple to use.
Simultaneous measurement and analysis of the kinetics of a sample’s
fluorescence or luminescence intensity in all wells at the time of compound
addition are made possible by the high sensitivity two-dimensional sensor
(camera) and dispenser head (96 tip type/384 tip type). Screening various
compounds at high throughput is enabled by measurement under the same
conditions with no time lag between wells.
- GPCR :GPCR screening can be performed by intracellular Ca2+ assay, cAMP assay and β-arrestin assay.
- Ion channel:Ion channel screening can be performed using intracellular ion fluorescence indicators.
- Luminescence :Luminescence screening can be performed using luminescent probes such as luciferase or aequorin.
- BRET/FRET :Screening of protein-protein interaction can be performed using fluorescence/luminescence energy transfer.
- iPS- cell :Toxicity evaluation and drug discovery screening using iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes and neurons can be performed
