Performing G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) assays using live cells in a high-throughput manner is an important part of the drug discovery process for small molecules. By combining the Fluent laboratory automation solution designed for live cell assays with the DiscoveRx PathHunter β-Arrestin human and ortholog GPCR assay kits, 384-well plate-based assays can be executed in high throughput. This platform offers excellent throughput and walkaway time, making it easier to run more applications. It is recommended for pharmaceutical researchers and CRO researchers who want to enhance the throughput of GPCR assays.

The NCI-60 panel is a collection of various cancer cell lines and is one of the most important tools in drug discovery for evaluating the activity of anticancer agents. While cell lines are commonly used in molecular biological assays, when combined with bioinformatics such as the NCI COMPARE database, results obtained from the NCI-60 panel can also estimate the mechanisms of drug efficacy against novel compounds. The efficacy evaluation for a large variety of compounds is initially tested at a single concentration. Hit compounds that show cell growth inhibition or cytotoxicity are then profiled in detail against multiple cell lines by creating dilution series. Tekan and the German biotech company European ScreeningPort GmbH have developed a protocol to demonstrate this cell-based assay solution. By combining expertise in cell-based assays from automated liquid dispensing to detection, they provide fast and reliable fully automated assays. After sample preparation using Fluent, cell viability was measured using luciferase detection for cellular ATP measurement (CellTiter-Glo, Promega).

Cisbio EPIgeneous cell-based assays allow for the direct measurement of methylation, demethylation, and total protein in both adherent and suspended cells. Tecan has achieved automation using the Fluent dispensing system, which is built based on the specific needs of lab applications. Fluent provides greater capacity and speed. This platform offers excellent throughput and walkaway time, enabling more reliable results and making it easier to perform many experimental processes. Tecan, in combination with Cisbio, known for its HTRF technology, has developed new protocols by combining expertise in automated liquid handling, detection, and cell-based assays. This enables the execution of fast, reliable, and fully automated assays.
