Cellectricon last week announced the launch of the Dynaflow Proficient (Pro) System for increased throughput in ion channel drug screening. The launch comes following a beta-testing period completed by GlaxoSmithKline, Cellectricon said.
The Dynaflow Pro System can be used together with the new Dynaflow 48-channel chip and the existing Dynaflow 16-channel chip. New control software, the Dynaflow Commander Pro 1.0, is compatible with both chips. The Dynaflow 48 makes it possible to receive multiple compound dose responses per chip and per cell — up to 12 full dose response curves per day, Cellectricon said. The Dynaflow 16 can be used to extract up to five full dose responses from single cells in a day, the company said.
