Products
Patch-clamp acquisition and analysis software suite
A modular software suite for patch-clamp experiments providing data acquisition, background recording, analysis tools, batch analysis and optional advanced analysis modules; supports hardware telegraphing and standard digitizer interfaces.
Low-noise multi-channel data acquisition system with line-noise suppression
Multi-channel digitizer providing independent ADCs per input, 16-bit resolution, analog and digital I/O, high sampling rates and optional hardware line-frequency noise cancellation to reduce mains interference in electrophysiology recordings.
Miniature integrated patch-clamp headstage with onboard digitizer
A compact USB-powered headstage that integrates low-noise amplification, pulse generation and digitization into a single small form factor for portable whole-cell and single-channel recordings with a software interface for protocol editing and real-time analysis.
Valve-controlled gravity perfusion system (4-channel)
Gravity-fed multichannel perfusion system with valve manifold (pinch or isolation valves), controller with USB/analog/TTL control, reservoir brackets and optional spill sensor and flow-control accessories for rapid solution exchange and focal/bath applications.
Motorized closed-loop XY-stage and installation platforms
Motorized XY translators and stage platforms offering nanometer-scale resolution and repeatability, multi-axis motor controller compatibility and interfaces for automation-ready integration with microscope systems.
Automated pressure control and pipette-cleaning systems
Desktop and rack-mount pressure controllers with closed-loop regulation, high-resolution control and integrated automated cleaning sequences to support multi-patch experimental workflows.
