NeoBiosystems, Inc. introduces the PatchMAX 100A, an oocyte patch clamp system.

NeoBiosystems, Inc. today announced the introduction of the PatchMAX 100A, the smallest oocyte patch clamp system.  Armed with a computer-controlled motor, data acquisition board, software, and a specially designed perfusion chamber, the device drives the electrodes to touch the cell membrane.  The software control provides widely variable approach speeds and proximity criteria for a perfect and consistent touch.  The new system relieves researchers from the most labor-intensive part of these experiments and increases productivity.  The PatchMAX 100A debuts today at the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
