Continuing the tradition of
providing the world¡¯s best electrophysiology amplifiers,
the EPC 10 USB Double,
Triple, and Quadro patch clamp amplifiers are the optimal
instruments for performing
double or triple patch experiments. Although either
two (EPC 10 USB Double),
three (EPC 10 USB Triple) or four (EPC 10 USB Quadro)
amplifiers are combines in
a single housing; each amplifier is completely
independent with clearly
defined operation and handling. HEKA¡¯s software
stimulates the desired
amplifier and selected channels are programmed without
tedious connection of
cables by the user.
The amplifiers and headstages
are clearly identified, thus, the user can immediately
assign the amplifiers to
particular patched cells. Although independent, the
amplifiers can be stimulated
simultaneously with resulting simultaneous data
acquisition. Current or
voltage signals from multiple amplifiers can be recorded,
displayed and even
analyzed online. This versatility makes these amplifiers ideal
instruments for
experiments such as studying gap junction potentials, pre- and
post-synaptic events, and
usage in amperometric measurements.
