Automated patch-clamp system Port-a-Patch mini

whole-cellminiaturefor research

With the Port-a-Patch mini, the world´s smallest patch clamp rig just got even smaller. Built on the success of the Port-a-Patch we miniaturized the patch clamp system even further by integrating the amplifier into the system. Supporting giga-seal recordings from one cell at a time the Port-a-Patch mini offers fast and easy access to high quality patch clamp data with only minimal training. Not only a powerful research tool but also ideal for educational purposes and quick tests of cells and ion channels. The benefits the Port-a-Patch mini include: Small and affordable complete patch clamp rig Test cells and compounds with the minimum of effort Amplifier integrated No patch clamp experience necessary Ideal for teaching Voltage & current clamp Whole-cell & perforated patch clamp Chips produced in-house, various resistances available (customizable on request) Manual and unlimited compound applications High success rates with cell lines; use of primary cells and stem cells also possible Easy to use, minimal training required Using the Port-a-Patch mini is straightforward and easy – the user simply adds solutions and cells onto the disposable recording chip, where a cell is automatically captured and sealed by suction using a computer controlled pump. The Port-a-Patch mini system is comprised of the Port-a-Patch mini recording unit with built-in amplifier, a Suction Control unit, and a computer. That’s all.
