The NPC-Family consists
of different instruments for automated electrophysiology.
The first generation of products ranges from the Port-a-Patch
(NPC-1) to the Patchliner (NPC-16) with 2, 4 or 8 recording channels.
All NPC-products have bench-top format.
The Port-a-Patch replaces
the conventional patch clamp rig thereby offering the following
advantages: equipment up and running within a day, ease of
use even for non-electrophysiologists, extremely small footprint,
insensitive to vibration enabling very stable recordings,
small volume consumption, also applicable for lipid bilayer
recordings. The use of the Port-a-Patch can
be learnt within a couple of days, making it very suitable
also for educational purposes. For the Patchliner
liquid handling, cell application, as well as the definition
of experimental protocols, are fully automated.
All instruments use Nanion’s proprietary
NPC-chips. These are single-use disposables
and are optimized for low liquid consumption and fast perfusion. |
