Biophysical and pharmacological characterization of ligand-gated ion channels on QPatch in multi-hole mode Rikke Schrøder 8th Ion Channel Retreat 29th of June, 2010
Outline Introduction to QPatch The multi-hole technology Ligand-gated ion channels on QPatch Data Summary
QPatch introduction • QPatchprovideshighqualitypatchclamp data basedongigaseals • Current is continuouslyrecorded; real-time changesaremeasured • Data analysis is automatic and obtainedwith intuitive and comprehensiveQPatchAssay Software QPatch; a fully automated industrialpatchclamp system
The QPatch family QPatch 8/8X QPatch 16/16X QPatch HT/HTX
QPlate outside Silicon-based patch clamp orifice which replaces conventional glass pipettes Exists in both single-hole and multi-hole versions Exists with either 16 or 48 measurement sites
QPlate inside Upper Flow channel Laminar flow Multiple additions of compounds Glass coated 5µl per liquid addition Waste reservoir 70µl/250µl
QPatch multi-hole technology The chip has multiple (10) holes per well/measurement site The substrate is the silicon chip; gigaseals Flow channelsare the same; laminar flow The measuredcurrent is Itotal Amplifiergainmodifications; measurescurrent up to ± 100nA
Why multi-hole patching? • For assayswith large cell-to-cellheterogeneity in channelexpression • Transientlytransfectedcell lines • Highconsistency in data results • Nearly 100% success rate • Highestpossiblethroughput • Lowest price per data point
B A C Multi-hole challenges B A Is the current rise time the same for single-hole vs. multi-holeexperiments? Is the biophysical/ pharmacologicalprofile the same for single-hole vs. multi-holeexperiments? Is the success rate increased?
Ligand-gated applications on QPatch • Compounds can be applied every 3 seconds (min. time interval) Application protocol for 5 pt antagonist dose-response experiments • Liquidrepetitions (e.g wash) can be applied with intervals of 1 second • Data acquisition and compound application happen simultaneously • Dose-response experiments obtained on the same cell 47 liquid additions á 5 µl per experiment • Intelligent robot logic for handling the pipettes for fast and complex ligand-gated applications

Summary; Rise time data The current rise time from differentligandgated ion channels is comparable for multi-hole and single-hole data It is assumedthat the angle of the liquid front in the flow channel ”hits the cell” from aboveratherthan from the side
