What is being bought

Published requirement description

The University is procuring an automated patch clamp system that will support the University’s research objectives. This includes, the ability to make whole cell recordings (voltage clamp and current clamp) in a plate-based assay system (>300 simultaneous recording). Importantly, the system we required will have internal solution exchange capabilities (to study intracellular gating mechanisms), and be able carry out micro bio-sampling to check drug concentrations post-hoc. Finally, the solution enables the flexibility of running one large experiment, or up-to 10 different experiments from one single-use recording chip, unique to this system.
