Patch Clamp Systems

Fluxion Biosciences introduces the Ionflux-HT and Ionflux-16 Automated Patch Clamp Systems, bringing significant gains in throughput, workflow simplicity and affordability to ion channel research. These systems combine the companys proprietary microfluidic technology with integrated electronics to automate the traditional patch clamp assay, the gold standard in ion channel research. Applications include primary/secondary screening, lead optimization and toxicology screening. The system includes 64 amplifiers and delivers between 8,000 and 10,000 assays per day at a cost of just 30 cents per data point using 384-well plates. It provides all the features of the HT system with 16 amplifiers, utilizing a 96-well plate format. Delivering 2,000 data points per day, the system is offered at a cost that addresses the unmet needs of many researchers who cannot afford the high price tag of current automated patch clamp systems.
