GluA2 activation at 110µl/s – speed is key
SyncroPatch 384 data and applications:
Cells were kindly provided by SB Drug Discovery
The AMPA receptor (GluA2) was activated using increasing concentrations of glutamate. Measured on the SyncroPatch 384 the whole cell patch methodology and multi-hole chips were used. The faster you apply the ligand, the shorter is the Time to Peak, this means pipetting speed is relevant for accurate pharmacology. The IC50 of Glutamate at 110 µl/s was 460 µM.
