RK-400

Patch-Clamp amplifier for whole cell and single channel recording

Bio-Logic

 

                           

 

General features of the RK-400


¤  The intrinsic noise is close to the minimal theoretical noise, and a large bandwidth (50 kHz) is available with a uniform frequency response on resistor headstage. A gain from 1 to 1000 by steps of 1, 2, 5 can be applied to the headstage signal.


¤ 
It can run in voltage clamp (VClamp) or current clamp (IClamp) mode, with distinct holding and input commands, and it can be switched from VClamp to IClamp, either manually or through a remote command signal. Transient compensations are switched automatically off when going to current clamp mode, to prevent oscillations.

¤  Two digital displays simultaneously indicate the voltage and current.

¤  Transient and leak neutralizations offer advantage of optimal headstage amplification.

¤  A series resistance compensation circuit and a supercharging circuit permits a satisfactory control of the potential or current to the preparation.

¤  Additional features such as a duration adjustable signal (zap) to penetrate cells, a 5 poles overshoot free (Bessel) anti-aliasing adjustable filter, are provided.

¤  Gain telegraph output (compatible P-Clamp)

¤  Delivered with a dual resistor headstage HK-R-410/408 (10 GOhm/100 MOhm) and a PC S3 electrode holder
