Motorized micromanipulator PatchStar

high-precisionautomated

The globally recognised PatchStar micromanipulator is perfect for electrophysiological recordings. The stable design and ultra-quiet electronics mean you can perform long-term patch clamp experiments and record even the smallest signals. The PatchStar's compact footprint and incredible versatility means it can be configured to fit around any sample, at any angle, in vitro or in vivo. The intelligent design and automated control enables you to reliably change and position your electrodes quickly and easily. Product benefits Perform sensitive recordings You can detect even the quietest signals due to the low noise of the PatchStar. This enables you to perform sensitive recordings, such as single channel recordings, with ease. Long-term recordings on small structures With precise and stable movement, the PatchStar is ideal for long-term experiments on small structures, such as dendrites. Easy to customise to your requirements The modular design means there are various configurations available. The PatchStar can be easily switched between left and right-handed configuration, allowing it to be mounted on both sides of the sample. Small footprint The compact design of the PatchStar means you can easily mount your micromanipulator close to the sample. Easy rotation Rotate the PatchStar with no need for tools; magnetic stops ensure the PatchStar is held in place whilst allowing it to be easily rotated away from your sample for pipette exchange, and then return to your precise recording position.
