Elements miniaturized amplifier can acquire and analyze very low ion currents and can be applied in the electrophysiology/electrochemistry field. Ion currents are electric signals flowing through ion channels (nanometric-sized pore-forming proteins on cells membrane). Ion channels are involved in many life processes of cells and are crucial in order to analyze drugs impact on human cells.
During the past years of activity, Elements products have been distributed at a global level in countries such as USA, Japan, People’s Republic of China and most of the European countries. Moreover, Elements collaborates with European leading companies in the electrophysiology field contributing to the innovation of the measurement systems in the automatic electrophysiology field.
Elements was granted in 2014 by the Regione Emilia Romagna for the grant “Bando Startup Innovative – fase uno” for the company starting and in 2019 for the grant “Bando Startup Innovative 2018 – fase due” (read more) for the development of the ePatch project called “Sviluppo di nuove tecnologie elettroniche e microelettroniche per la produzione di strumentazione elettronica da applicarsi all’elettrofisiologia per lo studio dell’azione farmacologica sulle cellule umane e per la diagnostica medica”.
