FAST AND PRECISE LIQUID APPLICATION AND SWITCHING OF ULTRA-LOW VOLUMES
B’SYS presents its latest electronic and microfluidic developments to broaden its existing array of liquid handling platforms for manual patch-clamp recordings.
Having analyzed the shortcomings of traditional and novel commercially available compound application systems for rapid and timely precise application of dosing solutions to the patch-clamped cell, B’SYS has developed its proprietary dosing system consisting of a highly repeatable and highly resolved pressure/flow controller and a microfluidic application system that allows for:
- Conducting electrophysiology studies consuming very low volumes of reagents and test solutions
- Tests with antibodies or natural compounds with limited availability
- Ultra-low volume application (flow rates ranging from 500 picolitres per second to – 1.6 microlitres per second)
- Closed loop flow/pressure and optical and electrophysiology feedback - controlled application of ultra-low volumes to the recording chamber
- Precise gating of compound solutions with short onset- and offset rates, respectively
- Contamination-free application and removal of test solutions to keep recording chambers clean
- Working in laminar flow conditions
- For special requirements jet-modes or high frequency applications are available (water-water in open bath, air-liquid, air-solid, 2 pL per pulse).
- Working in laminar flow conditions
- Ease of setup and working with various flow and pressure setups and the selection of suitable application nozzles
