dPatch - Low-noise Ultra-fast Digital Patch-clamp Amplifier

Low-noise incredibly quick digital patch-clamp The greatest amplifier system available is the Sutter dPatch®, which combines the most advanced digital architecture with a modern, user-friendly, yet forceful software platform.

The dPatch® amplifier system's architecture allows switching out headstages or adding a second one to a single-headstage unit, a plug-and-play technique, and it is available in both a single- and dual-headstage configuration. Both the FastFollower™ current clamp and voltage clamp are separately programmable for the two headstages.

The System Features:

• 5 mhz sampling rate, maximum resolution of 22 bits
• No need for active cooling
• Integrated data acquisition implies there is no need for a third-party computer interface.
• The sutterpatch program
• Dynamic clamp

Common Applications:

• Single-channel recordings
• Auditory research and other rapidly changing signals
• Tissue slice recordings
• Experiments with cultured cells
• Studies on cell lines using either adherent or dispersed cells
• Optogenetics
• Research on nanopores and nanogaps
