Welcome to Miyoun Hong, who is enrolled in the Master of Science in Biology program at NYU. Miyoun plans to be with us until the fall of 2010.
Patch Clamp System (Aries)
This system is based on a Axopatch 200B amplifier and has been optimized for low noise recordings. It is suited for single channel recordings. The system is equiped with a UV epifluorescence lamp to allow patching of GFP-transfected cells. Components of the system include:
- Nikon Diophot 300 inverted microscope
- 10x and 40x air objectives. Also a 40x oil objective that should be used to detect GFP fluoresence
- Axopatch 200B amplifier with DigiData 1322A ADC converter
- Burleigh PCS-500 right-hand manipulator
- Bio-Logic RS200 rapid solution changer
