Murine Cor.At®-based Mel.Cor® assay service
Mel.Cor® is an in vitro assay that utilizes Axiogenesis Cor.At® cardiomyocytes to reproduce an authentic cardiac cellular environment for drug pharmacology screening. Mel.Cor® has important natural features that are lacking in current electrophysiological in vitro assay methods and is capable to display hERG effects.
Mel.Cor® is a physiologically authentic system that integrates a full range of cellular mechanisms which regulate cardiac potentials, such as the interaction between ion channel subunits (Na+ ,Ca2+ ,K+ ). Mel.Cor® also permits the simultaneous detection of drug effects on all ion channels, as well as on beta-adrenergic and muscarinic receptors. Other current systems for in vitro electrophysiological analysis do not provide this physiologically accurate cardiac cellular environment so the data they produce is of limited value. Mel.Cor® is also highly efficient and economical and thus can be particularly beneficial in screening large compound libraries.
