Two Electrode Clamp

Overview:

The CELL CLAMP 2 is an ideal low cost solution for two electrode voltage clamp studies where multiple setups are required. The CELL CLAMP 2 comes complete with 2 passive "pencil" probes and a virtual current monitor "bath" cable.

The unit is ideal for teaching labs or in research oocyte-screening setups, or any setup where the higher speed of active headstages is not required. A typical setup would include 1 power supply which can have up to five (5) CELL CLAMP 2 units connected.

Ordering Information:
When ordering the CELL CLAMP 2-V please specify the following.
Mains Power (V) = 115 for 110-115V or 220 for 220-240V.

Warning: This equipment is not intended for use in human applications or human experimentation.

Features:

• Low cost, easy to setup and use
• ±130 volt compliance
• Uses two passive "Pencil" probes
• Current is measured through Virtual Monitor in cabinet
• Optional active probe for Virtual Current Monitoring at the bath
• External Power Supply operates up to 5 units
• Digital read-out of Voltage, Current, and Electrode Resistance
• Three position Low Pass Filter

Applications:

The Two Electrode Clamp is ideal for studying receptors and channels induced by injected mRNA in Xenopus oocytes and where multiple setups are required.
