Our lab needed a way to measure Calcium flux downstream of the human AT1R receptor. This was our initial reason for purchasing the FlexStation. Using their calcium kits in conjunction with the instrument has proven to be a very accurate and user-friendly method for generating the calcium data. We have since found many other uses for the instrument including IP1 measurement, ELISA, and other fluorescence based assays.
