The Orbit mini is a miniaturized bilayer workstation enabling the recording of four artificial lipid bilayers simultaneously. The benefits the Orbit mini setup offers include:
Standalone turn-key system with extremely small footprint
Integrated four channel low-noise amplifier
Optional temperature control - automated active cooling and heating
Low noise recordings at highest bandwidths
Increased throughput due to four simultaneous recordings
Dedicated comprehensive recording software included
Target molecules can be introduced directly or by fusion of (proteo-)liposomes
Ion channels: voltage and ligand gated, temperature sensitive
Nanopores, antimicrobial peptides, toxins and many more...
Cost-efficient experiments with disposable MECA chips
The Orbit mini contains a built-in, miniaturized four-channel amplifier, allowing low noise recordings at high bandwidth without the need for any additional equipment – you could virtually conduct experiments while travelling by train! Due to the unique design of the Orbit mini, the measurement chamber temperature can be actively controlled without additional noise generation.
The complete Orbit mini platform consists of the main recording unit with a built-in four channel amplifier (Elements s.r.l.), and an optional computer-controlled environmental control unit for active cooling and heating of the recording chamber. Ionera's MECA 4 disposable recording chips are used for manual painting and recording of four artificial lipid bilayers in parallel.
