Manual Patch Clamp Services

The manual patch clamp (MPC) technique has a storied history as a fundamental tool for electrophysiological research since its development in the late 1970s. It is widely used for its unmatched sensitivity and precision, allowing detailed investigation of ion channel behaviors in various cell types. The manual nature of this method provides a level of control and observation that automated patch clamps can't match, particularly when studying complex or rare ion channel pharmacology. This hands-on approach yields high-quality, reproducible data, essential for in-depth functional analyses in drug development and neurophysiological research. Our service harnesses the power of this technique with unmatched expertise, a broad array of targets, and rapid, cost-effective delivery of results.
