DiscoveRx Corporation Adds 7 New Kinase Assay Toolboxes to HitHunter Portfolio

Flourescence Polarization Line to Broaden the Range of DiscoveRx Assay Kits for Kinase Targets

05-Mar-2004
Fremont, Calif. DiscoveRx Corporation announced the availability of a new range of kinase assay toolboxes to its expanding line of assays for high throughput screening. The ready-to-use toolboxes cover a broad range of kinase targets. These toolboxes combine all the components required for customers to develop high throughput screening assays for kinases based on fluorescence polarization, but give the customers the flexibility to optimize the buffer conditions and assay parameters as required by their target. Components include proprietary antibodies, tracers, substrates and standards. Currently available assays include PKC19-31, Syntide, Crosstide, GS-derived peptide, ATF, AMARA and MBP. Additional toolboxes fir a very broad range of kinases will be available soon. "The availability of these toolboxes will simplify and shorten the assay development time required to setup high throughput screening assays for new kinase targets," said Pyare Khanna, President, CEO, and Founder of DiscoveRx Corporation. "Customers will have the flexibility to optimize the assay for their needs; in addition, they will have the necessary components and parameters ready for screening." The HitHunter product line features homogeneous assays for the most popular targets in drug discovery, such as G- protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), kinases, and nuclear hormone receptors. The assays are homogeneous, which greatly simplifies and speeds optimization for automation, as well as provides customers the flexibility to use a number of existing detection instruments already in their labs.
