Universal Buzz Box

Overview:

The BUZ-1 Universal Buzz Box is used to impale cells with AC oscillation or DC current, both with controlled duration, amplitude and frequency. The unit can be controlled from the front panel start switch or optional Foot Pedal Buzz with the option of AC oscillation or DC current. The BUZ-1 can be attached to any preamplifier. The BUZ-1 is inserted in between the headstage of an intracellular preamplifier and the mainframe.

The BUZ-1 uses a relay to break the connection to the headstage capacitance compensation capacitor and the current inject resistor (or amplifier and resistor) and connects them to the circuitry in the BUZ-1 box. A60cm (2 ft) long cable (DB-15 connector) attaches to the headstage connector on the preamplifier mainframe. This connector operates with the TEV-200A Two Electrode Voltage Clamp, IX2-700 Dual Intracellular, and IX1 Single Channel preamplifiers directly. The rear panel of the BUZ-1 has a DB-15 jack to connect with Dagan headstages.

Note: Equipment supplied by Dagan Corporation is NOT suitable for connection to human subjects.
