After years of working in neuropharmacology but far away from electrophysiology, we have had the opportunity to use the Patchliner. Our equipment is living a second life after 5 years in a box and after some software upgrades, it's alive and kicking! We only followed a day and a half of tailored formation at Nanion facilities in Munich and after 3 days we are having high-quality results, high productivity, and concentration-response curves after three mouse clicks! Just prepare the drug solutions and the suspension of cells and after 10 min you will get 6-8 concentration-response curves with their IC50 values automatically! Amazing! The patch liner is robust, reliable, and flexible.
However, great equipment is nothing without support. We have received high-quality remote technical assistance that has solved all the small issues inherent to a new setup in a different lab and, most importantly, specific, high-quality scientific advice on which cells to use, what configuration to set up, experiment designs, and application notes, etc. A five stars team, because first of all, they are scientists and have a fair idea of what you need: electrophysiology without all the hassle.
