PathHunter® Cell-based Assay Development Services
|
|
PathHunter is a versatile cell-based assay platform, based on our proprietary EFC technology, successfully employed to develop validated assay solutions for over 300 targets spanning many target classes including GPCRs, Kinase, NHRs, and more. Innovative application of this core technology, has enabled the development of robust, reliable, and high-throughput-friendly chemiluminescent assays to measure protein-protein interaction, protein translocation and degradation.
PathHunter CAD Services will work closely with you to develop a custom cell-based assay specific for your target, providing comprehensive solutions where you need them most. |
PathHunter - cell-based technology format can query many types of interactions
-
Measure inducible and constitutive protein interactions
-
Measure protein translocation to various intracellular locations in a
non-imaging HTS friendly assay
-
Accurately measure protein levels and stabilization

HitHunter® Biochemical Assay Development Services
|
|
The HitHunter Assay is a validated platform for biochemical quantification of second messenger signaling for cAMP and cGMP. Extension of the HitHunter principle to novel targets allows for investigation of protease and substrate activity. HitHunter assays are formatted as competitive immunoassays, where analytes are detected in solution, without separation or wash steps, providing improved sensitivity and precision compared to conventional immunoassays.
HitHunter Biochemical Assay Development Services will work closely with you to develop a custom assay to detect protease and substrate activity or measure an analyte, providing comprehensive solutions where you need them most. |
HitHunter biochemical technology format has these advantage
-
Develop novel assays for identifying analytes
-
Develop cleavage assays to assay protease activity
-
Develop assays for use with primary cells, etc
-
All assays will be HTS compatible, etc.
-
Chemiluminescent detection - minimizes false positives from auto fluorescence
-
Reliable and robust assay with high Z' (0.75)
-
HTS-friendly - adaptable to 1536 applications

InCell Hunter™ Assay Development Services
|
|
InCELL Hunter is a novel, yet powerful in vitro cellular ligand binding assay platform that can be used to determine compound binding in a native cellular environment. InCELL Hunter uses enzyme fragment complementation technology to measure binding to the protein of interest and is a powerful development tool for intractable targets where other technologies have been unsuccessful. |
