Invitrogen™ Predictor™ hERG Fluorescence Polarization Assay Kit

The Predictor™ hERG Fluorescence Polarization Assay Kit provides a set of validated components to perform hERG channel biochemical binding studies in the absence of radioligand. The assay was designed to identify potential hERG channel blockers by producing data that accurately correlates with patch-clamp electrophysiology studies. The assay is based on the principle of fluorescence polarization where a red-shifted fluorescent tracer is displaced from the hERG channel by compounds that bind to the channel. Assay performance was validated with a panel of established hERG channel blockers. Results from the Predictor™ assay demonstrate a high correlation with those obtained from patch clamp techniques.
