BLM kit

A complete accessory kit for the eONE amplifier family, designed for teaching and fast screening of ion channel functional activity in lipid environments.

Why to choose the BLM kit?

Lipidi

Rapid Bilayer Formation

Achieve stable lipid membranes in less than a minute using the Montal Mueller technique.

Budget

Smart Budgeting

Full performance at one-third the cost of traditional systems, thanks to advanced component miniaturization, perfectly tailored to fit academic and research grants.

Segnale

Ultra-Low Noise Recordings

Best paired with eONE ULN amplifier to guarantee exceptionally clean, publication-ready measurements.

What is inside?

Item Code
1 Aluminium Faraday Cage (10x16x5 cm) 000694
1 BLM Cuvette MM (700 μL) 002838
1 Amplifier Holder 003718
1 Paintbrush 000498
1 Allen key 002806
3 Septum teflon MM Ø 100 μm hole 002905
3 Septum polyimide MM Ø 100 μm hole 002839

Note: The current amplifier is not included in the kit. We strongly recommend the eONE ULN, or you can explore the entire eONE family to find the model that best fits your requirements.

Cut training time to a minimum

The BLM cuvette MM makes lipid membrane formation rapid and intuitive.

  • Montal-Müller Method: Engineered with a vertical septum geometry specifically designed to optimize the classic Montal-Müller technique or the pseudo-air bubble method.
  • Zero Leakage: The grease-sealed interface between Delrin components and polyimide foil completely eliminates chamber leaks and constant seal replacements.
  • High Stability & Reliability: Achieve stable, high-quality bilayers easily, free from the usual brush-painting frustration.
  • Available Materials & Sizes: Predefined septa are included in the kit, while replacement membranes can be purchased separately in Polyimide (aperture sizes: 50, 75, 100, 150 or 200 µm) and Teflon (aperture sizes: 50, 80, 100 µm).
