npi electronic ELC-Series Universal Amplifier

Combining traditional patch and microelectrode recording with electrical stimulation, dye application or single cell transfection

All ELC amplifiers enable an investigator to identify a single cell by its characteristic spike train and then electroporate or stimulate this cell in situ.

Product benefits

Allows investigations under more natural, non-invasive conditions

Using the loosepatch clamp technique for recording and stimulation in slice or in vivo preparations.

Experiments can be executed with minimal damage to individual cells

This also includes subcellular structures such as dendrites and axons.

Use the same pipette for several cells

No gigaseal is required for these types of experiments.

Additional information
