automated patch clamp systems

Automated patch clamp systems are advanced laboratory tools used to study how individual cells and their ion channels function. They automate the process of measuring electrical signals across cell membranes, which helps scientists analyze cell behavior more quickly and consistently. These systems use robotics and precise controls to automatically attach to cells, apply electrical stimulation, and record responses, reducing manual effort and variability. They are valuable in drug development and neuroscience research, enabling faster testing of how new compounds affect cellular activity with high precision.
