Short introduction on the Orbit mini

Prof. Dr. Friedrich Simmel - Statement about the Orbit 16

   “The Orbit 16 enables us to generate high quality, single channel recordings with synthetic DNA membrane channels, which in our experience are notoriously difficult to measure. DNA pores are quite hard to functionally incorporate into lipid bilayers, but could be successfully investigated using the Orbit 16, as published in Science. The Orbit 16 offers a drastic increase in throughput since it substantially speeds up formation of bilayers and data generation by its parallel recording channels, thus providing us an easy-to-use platform for efficient and accurate research on DNA nanodevice-membrane interactions.”

Prof. Dr. Stefan Howorka - Statement about the Orbit 16

   “Within our research on the CsgG channel, Nanion’s Orbit 16 - combined with Ionera's MECA Chip technology - has substantially boosted our scientific output. The outstanding research tool is easy to handle and speeds up the parallel generation of 16 bilayers. By increasing the throughput of single-channel current recordings, it is a breakthrough in the biophysical analysis of pore forming proteins. Within approximately one week’s worth of lab time, we had the data needed for the recent paper in Nature. This would have been hard to achieve using conventional serial bilayer methods. In addition, the ease-of-use provided by the Orbit 16 shortens the learning curve for making high quality bilayer recordings.  As a benefit in academia, students can now get hands-on experience with bilayer recordings also for shorter projects.“

Data courtesy of Dr. Gerhard Baaken et. al., University of Freiburg / Ionera.

Event-averaged histograms (black) and overlaid current traces (blue) of parallel and simultaneous recordings on a MECA chip of monoPEG-28-mediated blockages of hemolysin nanopore(s). The current traces were recorded with a multichannel amplifier (Tecella Jet 16). Histograms were derived from the mean current levels of at least 2000 visits of blocked stated per cavity (20 kHz sample frequency).

   Orbit 16 and      Orbit Mini

This webinar covers the use of the lipid bilayer platforms from Nanion: the Orbit16 and the Orbit mini for characterization of membrane proteins like ion channels, bacterial porins and biological nanopores. Both bilayer systems support high quality low noise recordings, but differ in throughput capabilities and experimental features. The Orbit16, introduced in 2012 is a device for efficient formation of 16 lipid bilayers simultaneously, allowing for parallel bilayer-reconstitution of ion channels and nanopores.
