PC-ONE Patch/Whole Cell Clamp (CORNERSTONE Series)
(with optional headstages for Bilayer and Voltammetry)
Features:
Planar Lipid Bilayer Recording A special Bilayer headstage (10Gigohm feedback resistor) not only allows applications to 500pF Bilayers, but it also allows you to "short" the Bilayer during the onset of a step command to "quick charge" the Bilayer capacitance. A unique 10Gigohm (Bilayer) position on the Headstage Selector switch modifies the Capacitance Compensation from the normal 10pF Patch application to the 500pF Bilayer application.
Voltammetry (Electrochemical) Applications A special headstage with a +/-2 volt command range allows the PC-ONE to "voltage clamp"a carbon-fiber electrode so that extracellular concentrations of various neurotransmitters can be measured at any specified oxidation/reduction potential. Headstages can be specified with 10 Megohm, 100 Megohm, 1 Gigohm or 10 Gigohm feedback sensing resistors (i.e., 1000nA down to 1nA full scale sensitivities).
.
Whole Cell Voltage and Current Clamping The PC-ONE handles three ranges of whole cell headstages for currents up to 1000nA (10 Megohm feedback). Standard LEAKAGE subtraction/compensation allows you to quickly adjust for leak errors on-line during an experiment.
