Description:

Q-State Biosciences has developed an all-optical electrophysiology platform for controlling and recording activity in electrically active cells: primary and human iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and neurons. The platform combines proprietary ultrasensitive optogenetic actuators, genetically encoded voltage indicators, stem cell technology and advanced optical imaging. Q-State Biosciences uses custom instrumentation and software to probe cellular physiology with sub-micron spatial resolution and sub-millisecond temporal resolution. Q-State technology probes dynamic cellular physiology with far higher throughput and information content than are achieved with manual patch clamp, multi electrode arrays, or calcium- or voltage-sensitive dyes.
