Model 2400 amplifier – A-M Systems

The A-M Systems Model 2400 amplifier is a full-featured, low-noise patch clamp amplifier designed for single-channel and whole-cell voltage clamp recordings, as well as stable, high-bandwidth current clamp recordings (up to 200 kHz).

Features of the Model 2400 Amplifier – A-M Systems

  • Low noise and high stability for voltage and current clamps
  • Interchangeable dual-feedback headstage
  • Voltage follower electronics for stable current clamping
  • Integral 4-pole Bessel low-pass filter
  • Adjustable capacitance, series resistance and whole-cell compensation
  • Internal test signals and analogue telegraphs for front-end settings
  • Digital display of potentials, current, RMS noise, filter, gain
  • 3-year warranty
