Two Electrode Voltage Clamp Workstation
TEV700-V
Two Electrode Voltage Clamp Workstation
PRICE ON REQUEST
Product code: TEV700-V
Provides two-electrode voltage clamping via an Oocyte Clamp Amplifier and the necessary components typically used with in research involving Oocytes.
Overview
This workstation provides two-electrode voltage clamping (TEVC) via an Oocyte Clamp Amplifier and many of the necessary components typically used with in electrophysiology research involving Oocytes. Measurements can then be recorded via a PowerLab and LabChart data acqusition system, which is purchased separately.
Included with the workstation are:
- Oocyte Clamp Amplifier
- Voltage Headstage
- Bath Clamp Headstage
- Current Electrode Cable
- Oocyte Model Cell
- Rack mount accessories
- Oocyte Recording Chamber
- Clamp Mount Micromanipulators (Left and Right)
- Magnetic Base for Clamp Micromanipulator (x2)
Two E series electrode holders are typically required with the clamp and varying sizes can be purchased separately:
- (Str, Vent, Ag Wire) for use with the voltage headstage
- (45°, Vent, Handle, Ag Wire) for use with the current electrode
This workstation can also be purchased as part of the Two Electrode Voltage Clamp Workstation System.
Accessories (optional, purchased separately):
- Magnetic Steel Base Plate (305x610x9.5mm)
Features
- High compliance voltage (±180 V)
- Unique bath clamp circuitry
- Ideal for clamping large cells and cell structures, e.g. squid axons
- Extended current measuring range
- Decreased noise level and 4-pole Bessel filter
- An internal switch permits measurements of the current in series with the current electrode, instead of in the bath
- Optional differential voltage headstages
- Buzz controls (1 kHz square wave) for each electrode aid in penetration of cell membranes with a minimum of leakage
- Overload alarm (audible and visual) indicate when the compliance voltage is exceeded safeguarding the Oocyte and indicating that current records are subject to saturation
- DC Offsets for both voltage and current electrodes
- Electrode Test for both electrodes
- Capacity Compensation for the Vm voltage input
