NeoBiosystems, Inc. introduces the ChannelMAX 100A Twin, a dual-channel two-electrode voltage clamp and four-channel oocyte patch clamp system.

NeoBiosystems, Inc. today announced the introduction of the ChannelMAX 100A Twin, a dual-channel two-electrode voltage clamp and four-channel oocyte patch clamp system.  This novel design combines the two-electrode voltage clamp and patch clamp in one.  Armed with a precisely controlled motor, data acquisition board, software, and a specially designed perfusion chamber, the device drives the electrodes to impale oocyte or touch the cell membrane without the need for a microscope.  It significantly lowers equipment cost and saves lab space.  The new system relieves researchers from the most labor-intensive part of these experiments and increases productivity.  The ChannelMAX 100A Twin debuts today at the Biophysical Society Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
