SENSAPEX UMC-PPC pressure control for automated patching
The SENSAPEX UMC-PPC simplifies and automates the essential tasks of patch clamp experiments, from membrane cleaning, seal formation and membrane perforation to automatic pipette cleaning. Offering a control range of ±100 kPa with 10 Pa resolution and repeatability better than 0.5 kPa, it guarantees reliable, reproducible experiments. Fully integrated into the Sensapex environment, it offers easy control via touch screen or SDK, and the ability to switch from manual to automated pressure in just 4 ms.
