Unlocking Potential with the Automated Patch Clamp System

 

Automated Patch Clamp System

Essential traditional patch-clamp methods for studying cellular electrophysiology have limited throughput and demand a high level of experimental skill. Although automated patch-clamp (APC) methods provide high throughput and greater researcher independence, they are mostly restricted to tests with small, homogenous cells by design. We used a fixed-well APC plate architecture to enable high-throughput APC tests on bigger cells, such as native cardiomyocytes isolated from mammalian hearts.

 Understanding the Automated Patch Clamp System

Traditionally, patch clamp experiments were labor-intensive and time-consuming, requiring skilled operators to manually manipulate glass electrodes. However, the Automated Patch Clamp System streamlines this process, offering unparalleled precision and efficiency. By automating electrode positioning, cell detection, and seal formation, researchers can conduct high-throughput experiments with minimal human intervention.

Enhancing Efficiency and Accuracy

One of the primary advantages of the Automated Patch Clamp System is its ability to significantly increase experimental throughput while maintaining data quality. By eliminating tedious manual tasks, researchers can focus on data analysis and interpretation, accelerating the pace of discovery. Moreover, the system's precise control and measurement capabilities ensure reproducible results, enhancing the reliability of scientific findings.
