✅ Condition: Used, fully operational.
✅ Guarantee: Guaranteed to be fully functional.

Description:

The Port-a-Patch by Nanion is a compact, turn-key automated patch clamp system designed for rapid and reliable electrophysiological measurements, even by non-experts. It supports a wide range of patch clamp configurations, including whole-cell, perforated patch, cell-attached, and bilayer recordings, with success rates of 70–90% and seal resistances greater than 1 GΩ.

Designed for high-throughput ion channel research, the system uses NPC-1 borosilicate glass chips with micron-sized apertures to facilitate automatic cell capture, sealing, and whole-cell configuration. Versatile and expandable, it supports external/internal perfusion, temperature control, and optional fluorescence imaging for comprehensive cell analysis.

Key Features:

• ✅ Easy to Use – Suitable for non-experts
• ✅ High Success Rate – 70–90% for stable whole-cell configurations
• ✅ High Seal Resistance – >1 GΩ
