The University of Cambridge uses the FlexStation 3 reader to study the structure and function of calcium signalling pathways

The Challenge

Dr. Emily Taylor's research at the University of Cambridge in the Calcium Signalling Group focuses on structure and function of calcium signalling pathways to understand how receptors responding to diverse extracellular stimuli evoke release of Ca2+ from intracellular stores, and how that regulates cellular activities.

The Solution

She has been successfully using two FlexStation Systems for nearly 10 years and has just purchased a third system to further increase output capacity. View publication in Nature Protocols: Rapid functional assays of intracellular Ca2+ channels.

FlexStation 3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader

Details

Products Used

With advanced dual optical systems operating above and below your microplates, the FlexStation® 3 Reader measures absorbance, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, luminescence, and time-resolved fluorescence. But that's just the beginning, because this incredible benchtop system integrates multi-mode microplate optics with precision, programmable liquid handling for perfectly timed, automated biochemical and cell-based assays. The FlexStation 3 Reader requires that you give up nothing in assay design, because it adds your assay reagents from a 96- or 384-well source plate.
