Microfluidic system for planar patch clamp electrode arrays.

چکیده
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 were obtained with a 24% success rate. Simultaneous whole cell recordings from valve-isolated electrodes were obtained.

متن کاملNeurons on a Chip – Toward High Throughput Network and Pharmacology Investigations
The biophysical properties of single neurons and synaptic connections between populations of neurons enable the brain to form memories, make decisions, and perceive the surrounding environment. The ability of neurons to transmit signals is reliant on ion channel proteins embedded in the plasma membrane (Hodgkin and Huxley, 1952; Koch, 2005). Ion channel defects and neural network dysfunction ar...
متن کاملMicromolded PDMS planar electrode allows patch clamp electrical recordings from cells.
The patch clamp method measures membrane currents at very high resolution when a high-resistance 'gigaseal' is established between the glass microelectrode and the cell membrane (Pflugers Arch. 391 (1981) 85; Neuron 8 (1992) 605). Here we describe the first use of the silicone elastomer, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), for patch clamp electrodes. PDMS is an attractive material for patch clamp re...
متن کاملDesign Investigation of Microstrip Patch and Half-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide Cavity Hybrid Antenna Arrays
In this paper two linear arrays including a linear 1×4 and a planar 2×2 of microstrip patch and half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity hybrid antenna are introduced and investigated. These are simply implemented using low cost single layer printed circuit board (PCB) process. The array element consists of a rectangular microstrip patch with appropriate dimensions in the vicinity ...
متن کاملFrom Understanding Cellular Function to Novel Drug Discovery: The Role of Planar Patch-Clamp Array Chip Technology
All excitable cell functions rely upon ion channels that are embedded in their plasma membrane. Perturbations of ion channel structure or function result in pathologies ranging from cardiac dysfunction to neurodegenerative disorders. Consequently, to understand the functions of excitable cells and to remedy their pathophysiology, it is important to understand the ion channel functions under var...
