Microchip amplifier for in vitro, in vivo, and automated whole cell patch-clamp recording.
Patch clamping is a gold-standard electrophysiology technique that has the temporal resolution and signal-to-noise ratio capable of reporting single ion channel currents, as well as electrical activity of excitable single cells. Despite its usefulness and decades of development, the amplifiers required for patch clamping are expensive and bulky. This has limited the scalability and throughput o...

In this projecting work we propose a mass spectrometric patch-clamp equipment with the capillary performing both a local potential registration at the cell membrane and the analyte suction simultaneously. This paper provides a current literature analysis comparing the possibilities of the novel approach proposed with the known methods, such as scanning patch-clamp, scanning ion conductance micr...
متن کاملMeasurement of cellular excitability by whole cell patch clamp technique.
Patch clamp method developed more than 30 years ago is widely used for investigation of cellular excitability manifested as transmembrane ionic current and/or generation of action potentials. This technique could be applied to measurement of ionic currents flowing through individual (single) ion channels or through the whole assembly of ion channels expressed in the whole cell. Whole cell confi...
متن کاملPopulation patch clamp improves data consistency and success rates in the measurement of ionic currents.
Present whole-cell patch-clamp methodology has only moderate consistency and throughput, rendering impractical functional measurements on large numbers of ion channel ligands or on large numbers of unknown or mutant channel genes. In the population patch clamp (PPC) described herein, a single voltage-clamp amplifier sums the whole-cell currents from multiple cells at once, each sealed to a sepa...

Introduction: Beta-carboline alkaloids of P. harmala are shown to have immune-modulatory effects in several studies. Extracts of this plant have significant anti-inflammatory effect via the inhibition of some inflammatory mediators including PGE2 and TNF-α. In postmortem studies, structural alterations to the cerebellum have been recognized, including Purkinje cell loss being re...
