CIM® Monolithic Well Plates combine the advantages of monolithic chromatography with the convenience of a standard well plate format. They ensure robustness and reliable results, making them ideal for screening multiple chromatographic conditions simultaneously.
NIST researchers have shown how graphene can be modified with pores and used as an ion filter, and could be adapted for use in drug delivery systems...

Ion channels are membrane proteins that regulate the entrance and departure of specific ions from cells, thus influencing the physiology of all cells. These ion flows also underlie electrical impulses required for sensory and motor functions of the brain, control of contraction of heart, skeletal, smooth and vascular muscle, as…

The advent of higher throughput patch clamp electrophysiology systems has begun to change the face of ion channel drug discovery. Systems such as IonWorksHT, PatchXpress and QPatch should allow electrophysiology to be re-positioned from an occasional reagent and compound ‘spot-check’ method, to a frontline gene expression analysis tool and drug…
