Brief pulses of electricity are used in various biomedical research applications as a stimulus to excite nerve or muscle fibers. Several factors need to be considered when choosing the right stimulator.The DS3 provides a precise Constant Current stimulus (up to 32mA) controllable in Pulse Duration and Amplitude and as with the DS2A this output comes from self-contained batteries. The DS3 also features a "clamp" or discharge c…

The DS4 takes an analogue voltage waveform defined within your own data acquisition/ control system and converts it into an isolated constant current stimulus. The DS4 will accept several input voltage ranges and produces four output ranges (±10µA, ±100µA, ±1mA and ±10mA). It also features a GATE input, so that several DS4 units can be controlled by a single analog waveform, but enabled individually via this GATE input. A t…

* Small working volume (* Fast solution exchangeExpression of recombinant receptors in oocytes has been a favorite choice for researchers to assess the pharmacology of recombinant receptors. Since the oocytes are 1-1.5 mm in diameter, however, fast solution exchange around the oocyte was difficult. After several years of electrophysiological research, we have designed a Xenopus oocyte perfusion chamber for use in automated and…
