Scientifica SliceScope Pro 6000

"For brain slice electrophysiology, the SliceScope Pro 6000 is perfect! It is beautifully designed - there is plenty of space for placing several stimulating and recording electrodes. Many groups of students have learned to patch (and published data!) with this system in only a few weeks! Scientifica clearly has electrophysiology in mind when designing products."

"The Scientifica stage and manipulators work smoothly out of the box. The microscope system is excellent for visualizing cells for whole-cell patch clamp and can be easily customized to work with a full range of photostimulation approaches we’ve wanted to build in our lab."

"The SliceScope Pro 6000 is the workhorse of my lab, adapting to all of my various experimental needs. The integrated and lower mounts allow for easy access of electrodes and stimtrodes to brain slices in the recording chamber and working space around the rig allowing for a comfortable recording experience. If I ever have issues, Scientifica is very responsive to any questions or potential repairs. Love my rig"

"The SliceScope Pro 6000 enabled us to efficiently perform and switch between experiments in different preparations, including primary neuronal cell cultures, organotypic slice cultures, and acute brain slices. The modular and minimalist buildup of Pro 6000 allows for quick access to all components and is easy to upgrade, which makes the setup a good long-term investment."

"SliceScope Pro 6000 is a very easy to use system with straightforward software, enabling the generation of vital electrophysiological data. The training received from Scientifica was super helpful and any questions we had were answered very promptly."

"The SliceScope Pro 6000 has a lot of flexibility; the system is compact with a wide workspace thus compatible for multiple cell patching. This means there is an ultra-high degree of freedom to make setting up the manipulators easier. Moreover, the motorised base plate and multiple manipulators are very stable and smooth. These are the reasons why I am happy I chose the SliceScope Pro 6000 to perform multiple cell patching."

"When I first set up my electrophysiology lab 10 years ago, I chose to use Scientifica's SliceScope Pro 6000 system, and I am glad that I made the right decision. The one thing that I like most is its "following" function in conjunction with the movable platform, which allows the recording pipettes to move with the move of microscope objectives with precise digital control. This function is particularly useful when performing multiple-cell recordings or recordings from multiple sites, which we often do."

"When our lab transitioned out of a larger electrophysiology group, we were looking for a reliable and complete setup to continue our work independently. The SliceScope Pro 6000 from Scientifica turned out to be a perfect package deal—comprehensive, well-designed, and excellent value. The entire process, from ordering to installation, was smooth and professionally handled. We’re now successfully recording from astrocytes in acute brain slices and are very happy with the performance and ease of use of the system."
