Molecular Devices®' newest microelectrode amplifier is the Axon™ Axoclamp™ 900A Amplifier. This amplifier, like the Axoclamp 2B, offers a number of operating modes that allow signal from single cells, tissue slices, and entire animal preparations to be measured. The Axon Axoclamp 900A Amplifier's excellent signal conditioning eliminates the need to purchase extra hardware and frees up significant space in an electrophysiological setup.

It has been made easier to set up and conduct tests by giving the amplifier computer control over a number of strong new features. This innovative new tool is built to both suit present-day research needs and provide flexibility for investigations in the future.
