Overview

The world’s smallest integrated patch clamp amplifier and data acquisition system for whole-cell and single-channel recordings

A very low noise one channel amplifier enabling high bandwidth acquisitions for voltage-clamp measurements.

The miniaturized ePatch amplifier integrates in a small headstage the low-noise amplifier, the pulse generator and the digitizer into only 42 x 18 x 78 mm and it is connected directly to the USB port of a laptop without the need of any other external bulky digitizer and control unit.

EZ Patch – the new ePatch software interface

EZ Patch software is the new patch-clamp electrophysiology software developed and released by Elements for easy control of the ePatch amplifier. EZ Patch allows:

Customizable user-friendly Windows-format interface
Real-time display of voltage and current digitized data
Parametric voltage protocols editor
Automatic or manual control of compensation settings
Membrane parameters estimation to keep track of cell health
Real-time data analysis (C-fast – estimation, noise, I/V graph, current histogram, etc.)
Digital LabBook
Data output saving formats: .abf
Available for Windows, coming soon for Mac OS
