SUTTER’s new MP-265/M "narrow format" mechanical is designed especially for patch-slice manipulator systems that require more than 2 or 3 pipettes. Coupled with the multi-manipulator controller, MPC-200, users have the ability to easily build up multi-manipulator MPC-365 systems for positioning mul­tiple recording and stimulating pipettes.

The MP-265/M mechanical builds on our existing manipulator line in several ways. First, narrow format means more manipu­lators can be grouped around a recording chamber. A long throw (37.5 mm) radial X-axis provides an easier approach to and from the optical center. Finally, travel in the Y-axis is shortened (12.5 mm) to economize on width, which is made possible because radially oriented manipulators do not require long travel in this axis.

The MP-265/M manipulator is designed specifically for sys­tems requiring 4 or more manipulators. To this end, we have put together systems with special pricing for 4, 5 and 6 ma­nipulators, and 2 or 3 dual manipulator controllers. We are also unveiling a new linear slide for mounting the MP-265/M mechanical as well as for our other manipulators. With the linear slide gantry (MT 75/LS), the manipulator can be quickly and smoothly moved out to a location where there is easy ac­cess to the pipette for replacement.
