Scientific Solutions has been providing data acquisition products particularly for whole-cell voltage clamp data acquisition since the early 1980s. In 1973, The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) introduced the first pClamp applications for controlling and analyzing electrophysiological experiments. In 1982, these programs were converted to PC-compatible versions and based upon…
Patch Clamp Configurations The patch clamp technique is highly versatile and can be used in several different configurations, each with a specific purpose:
A patch clamp setup is a sophisticated ElectroPhysiology rig used to study the electrical properties of biological membranes, particularly the activity of ion channels. The technique, developed by Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann (who were awarded the Nobel Prize for their work), allows for the recording of tiny electrical currents…
