Recordings of Action Potentials in Mouse ES Cell-Derived Cor.At® Cardiomyocytes on Nanion's Patchliner®

4 Feb 2011

Axiogenesis is a provider of pure mouse embryonic stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes. These cardiomyocytes have been evaluated with Nanion’s automated patch clamp platforms the Port-a-Patch® and the Patchliner®. The aim of this study was to show that the Patchliner®, Nanion´s planar patch clamp device for increased throughput, can be used for studies investigating compounds which exhibit chronotropic or arrhythmic effects.

The Patchliner is a fully automated patch clamp system which records from either 4 or 8 cells simultaneously. The HEKA EPC10 amplifiers, full control over the pipette speed, ability to change protocols on-the-fly and flexible add-ons for temperature control and dynamic clamp make this instrument the most versatile APC system on the market.

ElectrophysiologyElectrophysiology is the study of biological voltage changes, from a single ion channel through to a whole organ scale. Voltages can be measured using patch clamping, automated workstations, electrophysiology rigs or cell based assays. Specific cell lines, manipulators and microinjectors are also available for electrophysiology research.
