The ELC-03M was designed for intra- and extracellular recording, precise (single cell) electrical stimulation as well as juxtasomal
filling with patch electrodes. The system consists of a module for the npi EPMS-07 modular system and a small headstage with a mounting plate. It can be used in slices or in in vivo preparations using the optional headstage with a differential input. It has separate capacity compensation controls for VC and CC mode, all controls (Bridge balance, CC cap comp, offset, holding controls) are calibrated 10-turn potentiometers.
The ELC-03M is capable to record extracellulary DC or AC coupled, to stimulate with current or voltage and to perform non invasive juxtasomal filling of cells with dyes or DNA. The amplifier can also be used to record and stimulate intracellulary in current clamp (CC) or voltage clamp (VC) in the whole-cell patch clamp configuration. The brdidge mode allows additionally intracellular recordings and stimulation with sharp microelectrodes. It is also suitable for amperometric or voltammetric investigations with carbon fiber electrodes.

ELC amplifiers are also available as desktop stand-alone device.
