Micro-agar salt bridge in patch-clamp electrode holder stabilizes electrode potentials.
Maintaining a stable electrode potential is critical for patch-clamp measurements. The electrode potential of conventional patch electrode-holder assembly, where an Ag/AgCl wire is in direct contact with the patch pipette filling solution, is subject to drift if the pipette solution contains a low concentration of chloride ions (Cl-). We developed an agar bridge of 3 M KCl filled in a polyimide...
متن کاملOptopatcher--an electrode holder for simultaneous intracellular patch-clamp recording and optical manipulation.
Optogenetics has rapidly become a standard method in neuroscience research. Although significant progress has been made in the development of molecular tools, refined techniques for combined light delivery and recording in vivo are still lacking. For example, simultaneous intracellular recording and light stimulation have only been possible by using two separate positioning systems. To overcome...
متن کاملMicrofluidic system for planar patch clamp electrode arrays.
We present a microfluidic system integrated with disposable cell interface partitions for simultaneous patch clamp recordings. Glass-supported poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) partitions, having a 2 microm air-blown aperture, were reversibly sealed to a microfluidic system including PDMS channels with isolation valves and microfabricated Ag/AgCl electrodes. Gigaseal recordings from RBL-1 cells wer...
متن کاملA computer-assisted multi-electrode patch-clamp system.
The patch-clamp technique is today the most well-established method for recording electrical activity from individual neurons or their subcellular compartments. Nevertheless, achieving stable recordings, even from individual cells, remains a time-consuming procedure of considerable complexity. Automation of many steps in conjunction with efficient information display can greatly assist experime...
