Every GPCR discovery begins with meaningful biological insights. SelectScreen GPCR Services offers comprehensive profiling and screening solutions that enable researchers to characterize receptor function, evaluate compound activity, and streamline lead optimization with speed, accuracy, and confidence. Backed by validated assay technologies, physiologically relevant cell models, and extensive target coverage, we help ensure you get reliable data that supports informed decisions throughout the drug discovery process.

 

The SelectScreen Cell-based GPCR Profiling Service utilizes Thermo Fisher Scientific's portfolio of cryopreserved GeneBLAzer and Tango functionally validated assays for GPCRs and offers:

  • High-quality data
  • 2–3 week turnaround
  • Competitive pricing
  • Complete confidentiality
  • Open business model—no minimum commitment

Project options

  • Obtain rapid profiling of your compounds against a panel of GPCRs at a single concentration, or
  • Have more in-depth EC50/IC­50 dose response determinations performed.

You also choose whether you want your compounds profiled in agonist or antagonist mode. All of our functional cell lines are offered in both modes. Counter-screen your “hits” against our parental cell lines when utilizing our GeneBLAzer platform to evaluate non-specific effects.

Assay overview

A stringent verification process helps ensure excellent data quality. Each data point is performed in duplicate. Strict quality control protocols help ensure that any assay results not meeting set specifications will be automatically repeated. EC50 or IC50 value determinations for each GPCR are performed with known agonist and/or antagonist (when available) to determine data validity and consistency.

 

All of the functional, GPCR-specific GeneBLAzer and Tango cell lines used in the SelectScreen Cell-based GPCR Profiling (SSCG) Service offer superior response profiles as a result of optimization of assay conditions and selection of high-responding cell populations. All GeneBLAzer and Tango cell lines in the portfolio were researched and developed by Thermo Fisher Scientific; we verify the consistency, reliability, and performance of each cell line.

 

GPCR-specific GeneBLAzer and Tango cell lines:

  • Division arrested or cryo-preserved to avoid variability associated with cell division
  • Provide ready-to-screen, ratiometric assays for disease relevant targets
  • Are functionally validated to help ensure high-quality results each and every time

The GeneBLAzer and Tango cell lines in the service are tested and documented to show a high level of performance. These assays meet the following specifications:

  1. Z´-factor of 0.5 or greater for agonist assays and Z´-factor of 0.4 or greater for antagonist assays
  2. Appropriate EC50/IC50 responses to known agonists and antagonists
