IonFlux applications

• Compound profiling– Dose response measurements– Hit confirmation– Single concentration screening

• Mutant screening – Evaluate functional changes dependent on mutations– Record responses from up to 32 distinct mutants (8 for IF-HT)

• Structure-function studies– Determine the effect of mutations on channel function– Characterize expression for differentiated stem cells– Recording endogenously expressed ion channels– Screen clones based on ion channel density

IonFlux Technology for APC- Best in Class

• High quality data– G-seal quality recordings– Ensemble recording for improved

success rate

• Cost effective– Perform APC for about the cost of an

MPC setup

• Simple to use– Ease of use of a ‘plate reader’– Relevance of patch clamp data– Table top unit

• Reliable– No robotics required– Only two moving parts

Ensemble vs. single cell recording

• Ensembles average signals over 20 patched cells (16 ensembles per plate, left panel)

• The new single cell consumable records from one cell per channel (16 cells per plate for IF-16, right panel)

• The single cell consumable utilizes the same hardware

20-cell ensemble Single cell

Well-Plate Integrated Microfluidics

Well-plate integrated microfluidics (WPM) utilizes standard 96- and 384-well plates, but the bottom of the plate is replaced with a microfluidic network interconnected between the wells.

SBIR: the good, the bad and the ugly

• The good:– Non-dilutive capital!– Can be the catalyst for new projects, encourages innovation– Early $$, which are the hardest

• The bad:– Long timelines: 9 mo. from application to funding– <200k is low capital for Phase I awards– Can be a distraction from the central mission

• The ugly:– Review process dependent on random events– In our case, projects with the greatest commercial worth didn’t get funded
