The Eppendorf PatchMan NP 2 is the ideal micromanipulator for electrophysiology. The direct adapter attachment of the module unit to all commonly used microscopes (optionally positioned at the left or right) and the separate control board prevent oscillation and vibration. The device is adapted to upright microscopes by means of the Eppendorf universal stand. The tool can be attached to the module unit at any angle and in any orientation.

The PatchMan NP 2 micromanipulator is designed for non-damaging placement of measurement electrodes on and in the cell. This is aided by the device's facility to approach the cell membrane extremely slowly and to execute a purely downward movement if required.
