Understanding cardiac safety early is critical in drug development. In their latest poster, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, explain how they utilised Metrion’s clinically translatable cardiotoxicity assay to do exactly that.

Development of a robust hNaV1.9 high-throughput screening assay on the Sophion Qube384 platform. This is complemented by a suite of ion channel selectivity assays and sensory neuron recordings to create a versatile screening cascade to support NaV1.9 drug discovery programmes.
We developed a high-throughput, electrophysiological assay of TREK-1 function to identify novel modulators. The assay was optimized to identify both activators and inhibitors, providing comprehensive mechanistic data for high value, limited supply screening libraries, such as the venom fraction library used in this study (Targeted Venom Discovery Array, T-VDA, Venomtech, UK).
We demonstrate the generation and validation of a stable CHO-hHCN2 cell line used as a cellular tool in the successful development of hHCN2 automated electrophysiology screening assays.
We have developed a robust high-throughput automated electrophysiology assay using a monoclonal CHO-hNav1.9 cellular reagent suitable for fully supporting a Nav1.9 discovery program.
Metrion and Sophion present findings that determine whether other insoluble salts can act as seal enhancers and how these solution pairs affect the biophysical properties and pharmacology of the investigated ion channels.
Manual patch-clamp technique was used to evaluate channel pharmacology using cells transiently transfected with wild-type and V434L mutant channel.
The HESI Cardiac Safety Committee present results from an international ion channel research study that assessed the variability of hERG data generated using automated patch clamp platforms (QPatch 48, Qube 384 and the SyncroPatch 384i) across four different labs.

Scientifica’s PatchScope Pro is an integrated electrophysiology rig incorporating an inverted phase-contrast fluorescence microscope, motorised XY stage and PatchStar micromanipulators, suitable for patch-clamp recording.
