Temporal Resolution & Sensitivity

Only CellOPTIQ® is able to determine the critical type of EADs present and report on their classification.

 

Voltage Assay features include:

Proprietary Technology

Clyde’s voltage assay uses proprietary recording techniques and bespoke software to measure transmembrane voltage

Rapid Sensing

Clyde uses a non-toxic ratiometric dye to enable rapid (<1ms) sensing of changes in voltage

Ultra Sensitivity

CellOPTIQ® can record data at >10 kHz, giving it the ability to detect subtle changes in upstroke kinetics

CiPA Standards

CiPA standardised measurements of action potential

Detailed Analysis

Producing detailed analysis of all action potential phases: upstroke, early-, middle- and late-stage repolarisation

Repeat for up to 20 days

Able to conduct chronic studies with repeated measurements up to 20 days

2D & 3D

Works with 2D or 3D structures

Serum Free

Compounds tested in serum free media avoiding variation of results due to serum

 

 

Typical Voltage Data - Cisapride

Below is the output from CellOPTIQ for the action of Cisapride on spontaneously beating hiPSC cardiomyocytes. The data shows a typical response to Cisapride with the prolonging of APD50 and APD90 causing triangulation. Prolongation of ADP90 starts at a concentration, very similar to that seen in humans (QTc). The effects are seen at concentrations within 10 fold of Cmax, therefore Cisapride is designated medium risk of pro arrhythmia.

Assessment of a compound's potential to cause EADs is of vital importance in determining cardiotoxic potential. Older technologies can detect EADs, but only in a presence/absence model. Only CLYDE is able to determine the critical type of EAD present and report on their classification.
