An electrophysiology setup is not complete without a perfusion system. Depending on your application, the objective could be as simple as keeping the preparation alive by supplying oxygenated saline, or as complex as applying a wide range of concentrations of an ion channel modulator, complete with positive and negative controls to obtain a high-quality concentration-response curve. In addition, experiments with mammalian cells or tissues frequently require elevated temperature.
Sutter Instrument offers the popular perfusion systems and bath chambers made by AutoMate Scientific. Our standard product portfolio consists of perfusion systems with one, four or eight reservoirs, with the option of room temperature operation, inline heating, or a heated bath chamber in addition to inline heating. The standard bath chambers are compatible with either the Sutter platform stages, or with the MT-150 chamber column. Solution switching can be controlled by SutterPatch® software for complete integration into your data acquisition and analysis workflow. Manual operation, as well as control through other patch clamp software, or through digital (TTL) or analog signals from other sources is also possible.
The AutoMate Scientific ValveLink8.3® Controller avoids vibrations produced by switching solutions by hand. Low-noise circuitry and low-maintenance pinch valves switch in 20 ms and contribute to problem-free operation. Liquids never touch the valves. All AutoMate Scientific valves include an individual indicator LED. The aluminum enclosure keeps the valves dry from spills and provides Luer lock ports for syringe reservoirs.
All perfusion systems include syringe reservoirs (140 mL for the one-channel systems, 60 mL each for the four- and eight-channel systems), 2-way stopcocks, a ringstand with reservoir mounts, tubing, Luer connectors and a manifold where applicable.
In addition to the standard perfusion systems which cover the most frequently required configurations, a high degree of customization is possible. Please contact Sutter Instrument for a configuration that meets your particular requirements.
