Poster presented at SPS in Berlin in September on temperature effect using Qube

Until recently, the only possibility to test compound potency under voltage control conditions has been the manual patch clamp technique. Now automated patch clamp instruments with temperature control have become available making it possible to perform up to 384 parallel recordings at controlled temperatures ranging from 8°C and above. Qube has a temperature controlled test environment and in these studies, we show that temperature merits being taken into consideration when evaluating for hERG pharmacology. See the poster here.

Temperature control on Qube 384 – pharmacological dependency of hERG reference compounds

Studies of temperature dependencies can be done efficiently and reliably on Qube 384. In this study we directly measure change in potency with change in temperature on four different compounds, emphasizing the importance of temperature when studying drug candidates.
