Tocris offers a range of libraries/collections of exceptionally high quality ligands to suit your screening needs including an off-the-shelf range (Tocriscreen) and Customized Collections. In addition, we offer a range of Tocriset ligand sets designed to explore the pharmacology of specific receptors or cellular targets using conventional binding and functional assays.

  Tocriscreen - range of libraries / collections of Tocris ligands suitable for screening purposes Tocriset - set of Tocris ligands within a defined pharmacological or signaling area
What is it? A range of libraries/collections of Tocris ligands suitable for screening purposes. A set of Tocris ligands within a defined pharmacological or signaling area.
What can it be used for? To standardize/validate new screening assays.

To de-orphan receptors and identify interacting ligands.
To probe the pharmacology of a specific receptor target using subtype selective ligands.

To investigate the function of signal transduction cellular targets.
Is it suitable for High Throuput Screening? Yes No
What is its format? 96-well plate format in piercable silicone capped 1.4 ml tubes.

2 mg per well dry compound.

16 blank control wells included per 96-well plate.
3-5 ligands supplied as lyophilized solids or pre-dissolved in DMSO at a specified concentration.

Lyophilized solids have been freeze-dried (approximately 0.5-2 mg per vial) so that addition of 0.5 or 1 ml of solvent produces a stock concentration of 10 or 5 mM respectively.
What literature is available with each product? Full ISIS database and Excel file on CD-ROM includes structures, and chemical and pharmacological information. Accompanying booklet provides detailed solubility instructions including suitable solvents, and chemical and pharmacological information.
