Easy-to-use software enabling robust and high-throughput cardiotoxicity screening using the FLIPR Penta system

Bring simplicity to your multi-user environment with unique protocols utilizing ScreenWorks® Software on the FLIPR® Penta High-Throughput Cellular Screening System. The software controls equipment intelligence and instrument motion as well as capturing data for analysis and export during highly kinetic assays. It records the signal from both standard GPCR assays in fluorescent or luminescent format and up to 100 fluorescent images per second during an iPSC cardiomyocyte fast calcium oscillation assay. The optional add-on, Peak Pro 2 software module, enables you to perform advanced peak analysis. It is especially helpful for analysis of iPSC derived cardiomyocyte and neuron calcium oscillation assays.

High-throughput early toxicity screening with optional Peak Pro 2 software module

Advanced peak detection and event characterization measurements and analysis functionality are available with the optional Peak Pro 2 software module. This data analysis capability is especially useful with cardiomyocyte and neuronal protocols. The Peak Pro 2 analysis algorithm reduces false detections without the need to condition the raw data using search vectors.

The FLIPR Penta system with high-speed camera (HS EMCCD) option, for monitoring calcium oscillation in response to GPCR and ion channel modulator with Peak Pro 2 software module, allows you to measure and analyze patterns of calcium oscillations before and after treatment of human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and neurons. Images can be taken up to 100 times per second. You can analyze patterns using more than 30 parameters.

New safety measures in the drug discovery world, such as the NIH CiPA initiative, have placed added emphasis on early assessment of clinical safety and potential. The instrument hardware flexibility and easy-to-use Peak Pro 2 software module can help you assess and quantitate oscillation patterns consistent with potential cardiotoxicity earlier in the drug discovery process. It is also possible to characterize Ca2+ oscillation patterns in neuronal cells and spheroids. Panel A shows some of the parameters that you can measure. Panel B shows control and two examples of oscillation patterns.

Calcium oscillation measurements available in Peak Pro 2 software module

Calcium oscillations: Control; E-4031: hERG blocker; Dofetilide: oscillation irregularities.
