MultiPatch

Miniaturized 4-channel patch-clamp amplifier for voltage and current-clamp synchronized or independent measurements. Suitable for multichannel patch-clamp recordings.

4 simultaneous patch-clamp recordings

It supports 4 simultaneous patch clamp recordings, configurable for voltage or current clamp modes. Low-noise cables connect the core unit to the patch pipette holders ensuring optimal signal-to-noise ratio in in any setup.
