FLIPR Calcium Assay Kits apply a unique masking technology to reduce the background
fluorescence for detecting intracellular calcium changes in a simple and reliable
homogeneous assay format. They deliver pre-optimized, homogeneous, fluorescencebased formulations to expedite assay development and screening of GPCR and ion
channel targets.
The kits are validated on the FLIPR Tetra High Throughput Cellular Screening System and
the FlexStation 3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader.

calibration curve was 3.3 nM.
The Transfluor Assay is a cell-based fluorescence assay used to screen G-protein coupled
receptors (GPCRs), ligands, and other potential drugs that regulate GPCRs. By attaching
a fluorescent label to beta-arrestin, the location of the receptor-arrestin complex can be
monitored. Since desensitization only occurs with an activated receptor, monitoring betaarrestin translocation and subsequent receptor recycling provides a method to detect the
activation of any GPCR. This patented technology provides a powerful functional assay for
detecting a compounds activity against known and/or orphan GPCR targets. The Transfluor
Assay is optimized for HCS, secondary screening, and lead optimization.
The assay is validated on the ImageXpress Micro and ImageXpress Ultra High-Content
Analysis Systems.
