hCav1.2 recordings on Qube 384 using step, train and CiPA protocols
Some ion channels have a tendency to exhibit reducing current level in the course of an experiment. A notable member of this class is the CaV1.2 channel, a very important ion channel expressed in nervous tissue, the heart and smooth muscle and thus a target for a range of therapeutics as well as a liability target for other groups of medications. Therefore it is important to be able to record reliably, stably and with a high success rate in the pursue of novel compounds with the desired profile on CaV1.2 modulation. Qube 384 provides a stable assay with the CaV1.2 channel generated by SB Drug Discovery with these characteristics:
- Pharmacology and current-voltage relationship in accordance with literature values
- Success rates up to 94%
- Stable currents with rundown as low as (1.2 ± 0.9)% per minute
- The CiPA protocol yields stable currents with rundown as low as (1 ± 1)% per minute

Note that we have another Qube Application Report on Cav1.2 on another commercially available cell line underlining the robustness of the Qube platform. Find both of them here
