    Scientifica PatchPad Evo

    Total control of your electrophysiology setup, from a single, intuitive controller

    The PatchPad Evo is Scientifica’s next-generation controller, giving you fingertip control of multiple Scientifica motorised devices, including microscopes, stages, and manipulators, all from a single, compact unit.

    The integrated display delivers precise positional readout, essential for in vivo targeting and confident probe placement. Home In and Home Out functions make pipette exchange quick and repeatable, while customisable speed settings and haptic wheels provide smooth, accurate movement.

    Designed specifically for electrophysiology researchers, PatchPad Evo combines precision, safety, and efficiency, helping to keep your workflow fast, focused, and under your complete control.

    Product benefits

    Access total device information via integrated display screen

    Instantly see which device you’re operating, precise XYZ coordinates, activity status, and stored memory positions all in one place. For light-sensitive experiments, simply switch the screen off with a single button press.

    Precise coordinate information

    Accurate probe placement is critical for targeting specific brain or tissue regions in vivo. The integrated screen provides clear, real-time coordinate information, offering greater ease and accuracy compared to traditional mechanical scales.

    Coordinate reset for reference point

    Zero your coordinates directly on the controller to set a clear starting reference point, such as the bregma. This makes it easier to track insertion depth and maintain orientation in your sample, giving you confidence and accuracy throughout demanding in vivo experiments.

    Navigate back to points of interest

    PatchPad Evo lets you store memory positions directly on the controller, so you can quickly return to cells or regions of interest. This saves time and reduces the risk of missing opportunities in delicate patch clamp preparations.

    Optimised control for multipatch experiments

    Whether operating a single manipulator or working across multiple devices within a rig, PatchPad Evo brings control into a single interface, simplifying workflows and reducing the need to switch between controllers.

    Emergency stop for sample safety

    An integrated emergency stop button halts all connected device movements, protecting delicate samples and equipment. This provides peace of mind and full control, especially important during in vivo experiments.

    Fast, reliable pipette exchange

    The Home In & Home Out buttons enable speedy, reliable, pipette exchange. User defined positions enable you to move your probe safely away from and towards your sample with a single button press.

    Keep the sample safe

    Using the wheel disable / enable function allows you to turn on or off the control dials / wheels and prevent unintentional movement of a probe, putting you in control during the delicate experiments.

    Customisable speed control for precise positioning

    Switch between fast and slow modes directly on the controller. Fast mode helps you move quickly across the sample or into the right region, while slow mode provides the fine control needed to position with accuracy. Both can be fully customisable.

    Compact design, maximum control

    The refined, ergonomic shape and compact footprint free up valuable rig space and can even be used as a hand-held device. The intuitive layout keeps essential functions within easy reach.

    PatchPad Evo with InVivoStar

    Perfect for In Vivo Experiments

    The integrated display provides continuous XYZ coordinate readout, axis status and stored positions. giving you real-time awareness of probe location throughout your experiment.

    Define reference points such as bregma, monitor insertion depth with precision, and return to sites of interest quickly and reliably, all without relying on a laptop.

    This constant positional awareness improves accuracy and reproducibility while helping protect delicate tissue during demanding in vivo experiments.

    For complete in vivo workflows, explore our in vivo micromanipulators designed to work seamlessly with PatchPad Evo.

    Testimonials

    Our lab has used PatchStar manipulators for many years with excellent results. The PatchPad Evo is a great addition, offering an ergonomic and user-friendly option for controlling this benchmark manipulator.
