Dr. Kaneez Fatima Shad knows that the “Patch Clamp” method needs skills and patience. It takes the whole day to craft only one sample and even a small leak could alter the results drastically.

A new research report published in the December 2016 issue of the Journal of Laboratory Automation (JALA) features a planar patch clamp system with modular design capable of recording up to 384 cells ...

A team of scientists has combined a patch clamp with what is essentially an atomic force microscope to be able to now study beating cardiac cells. The patch clamp technique has provided a great deal ...

Vertebrate gap junction channels are formed by a family of more than 20 connexin proteins. These gap junction proteins are expressed with overlapping cellular and tissue specificity, and coding region ...

High-throughput screening (HTS) is a drug discovery strategy used extensively during early-stage pharmaceutical development. The patch-clamp technique remains the gold standard for testing the ...

Using a dedicated application technique and electrophysiological measurements, the researchers rapidly activated the glutamate receptors. The picture shows a setup for patch-clamp electrophysiology.
