Type: Binding

Description: Thallium Flux Assay: The ROMK channel functional thallium flux assay is performed in 384 wells, using the FLIPR-Tetra instrument. HEK-hKir1.1 cells are seeded in Poly-D-Lysine microplates and kept in a 37° C.-10% CO2 incubator overnight. On the day of the experiment, the growth media is replaced with the FluxOR reagent loading buffer and incubated, protected from light, at ambient temperature (23-25° C.) for 90 min. The loading buffer is replaced with assay buffer+/-test compound followed by 30 min incubation at ambient temperature, where the Thallium/Potassium stimulant is added to the microplate.Step Protocol 1. Seed HEK-hKir1.1 cells (50 uA at 20,000 cells/well) in 384-well PDL coated Microplates 2. Allow cells to adhere overnight in humidified 37° C./10% CO2 incubator 3. Completely remove cell growth media from microplate and replace with 25 ul loading buffer 4. Incubate Microplate at room temperature, protected form light, for 90 min.
