NeoBiosystems, Inc. introduces a fast solution change perfusion chamber that can be used for both oocyte and cultured cell patch clamp.

NeoBiosystems, Inc. today announced the introduction of a fast solution change perfusion chamber that can be used for both oocyte and cultured cell patch clamp.  This marks the first time that NeoBiosystems applies its automated oocyte patch clamp technology to study cultured cell.  The new perfusion chamber permits fast solution change for oocyte excised patch, suspended cultured cells and confluent cells on cover slips.   The new perfusion chamber permits a fast change in solutions involving an oocyte-excised patch, or suspended cultured cells and confluent cells on cover slips.

This novel design uses a computer-controlled stepper motor to bring patch pipettes to the center of each of the three-barrel perfusion pipettes.  No pipette re-positioning is needed.  Solution change is fast and reliable, and it is as simple as clicking a button.  The new perfusion chamber debuts today at the Neuroscience Society Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia.
