TEC-10CX for High-Speed Oocyte Recording

Description

TEC-10CX – Two-Electrode Voltage Clamp Amplifier for sophisticated recordings from oocytes

Features:

Sophisticated and extremely fast two-electrode voltage and current clamp (V/C) amplifier with PI-controller for recordings from oocytes
Push buttons for comfortable and fast selection of MODE of OPERATION
Differential potential registration and high-voltage current source output, automated electrode resistance test mode which can be used even with the electrodes impaled in an oocyte
VC OUTPUT LIMITER, COMMAND FILTER, INTEGRATOR and SERIES RESISTANCE COMPENSATION for fine tuning of VC circuit
Current transient compensation prevents data acquisition system from clipping
Digital DISPLAYS for current, voltage and electrode resistance
Four-pole BESSEL filter for current
No virtual ground needed for recording membrane currents
OSCILLATION SHUT-OFF unit prevents cells from damage
Standard current range is ±150 µA into 1 MOhm. Current headstages with selectable current ranges (x0.1, x1, x2, x5 or x0.1, x0.2, x0.5, x1) are also available
Easy operation with all major data acquisition systems, remote selection of MODE of OPERATION, telegraphing (monitoring) outputs for current sensitivity and filter
