Recordings of Action Potentials in Mouse ES Cell-Derived Cor.At® Cardiomyocytes on Nanion's Port-a-Patch®

7 Feb 2011

To provide scientists in basic or applied cardiology and toxicology with a standardized and pure cardiac myocyte model with functional expression of all essential cardiac ion channels, Axiogenesis has developed Cor.At® cardiomyocytes. These mouse embryonic stem cell derived cardiomyocytes are ready to use and 99.9 % pure without contamination by other cell types.

Port-a-Patch

Nanion Technologies GmbH

The Port-a-Patch is a miniaturized semi-automated patch clamp system supporting giga-seal recordings from one cell at a time. It offers fast and easy access to patch clamp data with only minimal training. Not only a powerful research tool but also ideal for educational purposes and quick tests of cells and ion channels.

ElectrophysiologyElectrophysiology is the study of biological voltage changes, from a single ion channel through to a whole organ scale. Voltages can be measured using patch clamping, automated workstations, electrophysiology rigs or cell based assays. Specific cell lines, manipulators and microinjectors are also available for electrophysiology research.
