iTRIO MPC-145 multi-manipulation system
Sutter Instrument’s TRIO MPC-145 is a stand-alone multi-manipulator system designed for in vitro and in vivo electrophysiological recording. It combines the TRIO MPC-100 controller with one or two MP-845 aluminium or MP-845S stainless steel micromanipulators, offering exceptional mechanical and thermal stability. Each micromanipulator has three independent 25 mm axes (X, Y, Z) and a fourth virtual diagonal axis controlled by software, configurable between 0 and 90°. The system is ideal for experiments requiring sub-micrometric precision and minimal long-term drift.
Features of the iTRIO MPC-145 multi-manipulation system
TRIO MPC-100 controller
- Resolution: < 100 nm
- Maximum speed: 3 mm/sec
- Compact, silent, fanless ROE controller
- Accessible functions: WORK, HOME, LOCK, PULSE, RELATIVE, SPEED, ANGLE
- DIP switches to select direction of movement according to ROE rotation
- USB interface for computer control
- Logarithmic acceleration algorithm for smooth, intuitive control
- Motors de-energised when not in use to reduce electrical noise and thermal drift
MP-845 (aluminium) & MP-845S (stainless steel) micromanipulators
- Material: aluminium (MP-845) or low-expansion stainless steel (MP-845S)
