Dual Channel Kinetic assays for detecting ligand bias at GPCRs
21 Apr 2020Activated G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) can signal through both G-protein and arrestin pathways. The need for better tools to reliably identify and quantify agonist bias inspired BMG LABTECH to develop methods that capture signals from β-arrestin and G-protein second messengers in real time. This application note shows how signals from each pathway can be collected simultaneously and with high fidelity with a BMG LABTECH CLARIOstar plate reader.

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.

Microplate readers are generally distinguished by their mode of detection. Types include absorbance, luminescence, fluorescence intensity, fluorescence polarization, TRF / FRET and multimode microplate readers. Microplate readers deliver a high throughput of samples by reading multiple wells simultaneously, with the 96-well format the most commonly used. As a result, microplate readers are often used in the drug discovery, bioassays, research and pharmaceutical industries for screening applications. Microplate loading can also be automated, with robotic microplate stackers to increase throughput.
