Ichor focuses on time-lapse confocal imaging leveraging reporter proteins, antibody labeling, pH-sensitive probes, and protein tagging systems to track receptor trafficking. Each assay is developed as a fit-for-purpose strategy aligned with the your biologic and mechanism of action.
Classic receptor internalization
Investigate ligand- or antibody-induced receptor engagement with quantitative tracking of internalization and trafficking, ideal for mechanism-of-action studies and targeted therapeutic development.
Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (RTKs)
Interrogate high-value targets like EGFR, HER2, and VEGFR, key drivers of proliferation, survival, and angiogenesis using our non-perturbing, in situ kinetic Akt assay to monitor real-time pathway activation.
GPCR Internalization and Signaling
Unlock high-resolution insights into GPCR activation and trafficking using FRET and fluorescent reporter assays in over 100 mammalian cell lines. Bolster your data package with in-house biophysical assays for robust, decision-driving results.
