Product news

The NEW BC-535 Bilayer Clamp Amplifier from Warner Instruments is a state-of-the-art instrument for recording single channel currents from planar lipid bilayers.

The amplifier features an extremely low noise, resistive feedback headstage capable of measuring currents from sub-pA to 20 nA.

Additional features include AutoZero, capacitance test, and capacitance compensation circuitry, as well as digital hold controls, audio output, and an internal Bessel filter.

Warner Instruments is the only company that provides a full suite of dedicated tools specifically designed for research using planar lipid bilayer technology. As such, the BC-535 is designed to function seamlessly with Warner’s Planar Lipid Bilayer Workstation, which integrates every key component necessary for bilayer work into a single package allowing users to quickly begin acquiring data.

ElectrophoresisElectrophoresis equipment is used to separate mixtures of protein, DNA or RNA, based on their electric charge, size and other physical characteristics, by passing them through a medium such as a polyacrylamide gel, an agarose gel or a capillary tube. Electrophoresis equipment includes horizontal and vertical gel electrophoresis chambers, isoelectric focusing systems, 2D electrophoresis and capillary electrophoresis instruments. Precast gels with a gradient can be used or gels can be hand cast. Samples are run alongside ladders or markers to identify the approximate size of a molecule. Separated proteins and nucleic acids in the gel can be stained or probed with fluorescent markers and then imaged and detected using gel documentation instruments, transilluminators, densitometers and scanners.
