    🚀 Reduce False Positives and Boost Hit Discovery with ION’s Brilliant Sodium Assay. Measuring the native ion instead of a surrogate can help you find more real hits and substantially reduce false positives in your HTS campaign. A screen (27,978 compounds) for Nav1.X inhibitors shows a 10% reduction in false positives with our sodium-selective assay (ING-2) when compared to FLIPR membrane potential (MP). 💡 Key Benefits: Save time and resources with fewer false positives Don’t miss a potentially valuable hit 👉 Discover how the Brilliant Sodium Assay can streamline your sodium channel drug discovery efforts: https://lnkd.in/gTinrp9g
