Orbit mini by Nanion Technologies GmbH
Manufacturer Nanion Technologies GmbH
The Orbit mini is a miniaturized bilayer workstation enabling the recording of four artificial lipid bilayers simultaneously. It allows low noise recordings at high bandwidth without the need for any additional equipment.
Orbit mini
Bilayer recordings typically mean tedious waiting for bilayer formation, protein introduction and eventually ion channel activity. The Orbit mini combines the parallel membrane preparation and measurement techniques with a maximum of portability and ease of use.
The complete Orbit mini platform consists of the main recording unit with a built-in four channel amplifier (Elements s.r.l.), and an optional computer-controlled environmental control unit for active cooling and heating of the recording chamber. Ionera's MECA 4 disposable recording chips are used for manual painting and recording of four artificial lipid bilayers in parallel.
Features:
- Standalone turn-key system with extremely small footprint
- Integrated four channel low-noise amplifier
- Optional temperature control - automated active cooling and heating
- Optional fluorescence microscopy kit
- Low noise recordings at highest bandwidths
- Increased throughput due to four simultaneous recordings
- Dedicated comprehensive recording software included
- Target molecules can be introduced directly or by fusion of (proteo-) liposomes
- Ion channels: voltage and ligand gated, temperature sensitive
- Analysis of nanopores, antimicrobial peptides, toxins and many more
- Cost-efficient experiments with disposable MECA chips
