The presenters will illustrate how the FLIPR® Calcium 5 Assay Kit enables researchers to conduct highly sensitive fluorescent screens of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) and ion channels. By using the latest fluorescent indicator dye technology, the assay kit delivers a superior signal-to-noise ratio compared to similar commercially available kits for enhanced performance even in difficult assays. In addition, the Calcium 5 Kit leverages the proven quench technology from the Calcium 4 Kit as well as the streamlined protocol that is the hallmark of all FLIPR® Calcium Assays.
