Are you looking for GLP HERG studies for the first time? Please, take the opportunity and ask for  help through the SHCC channel. SHCC has solid experience with GLP guidelines and can assist you with optimization of HERG GLP Studies. Our scientists will looking forward to answering your specific questions. Please use the SHCC contact information.


The awareness of acquired QT prolongation along with the current hype of the HERG channel initiated a fancy boom within the ion channel research arena. Thus, numerous ion channel CROs (Contract Research Organizations) piped up over the past five years all over the world. Apart from the prices, the quality of data, reporting turnaround, number of cells assayed per test item dose, reference recording as well as the quality of final report should be compared between each CRO competitor. Also ask for the validated HERG test systems offered. If possible, the same test system used for earlier HERG data generation should be chosen for better data comparision. The HEK 293 and CHO HERG cell lines are the most commonly used.
