Using the Port-a-Patch mini is straightforward and easy, the user simply adds solutions and cells onto the disposable recording chip, where a cell is automatically captured and sealed by suction using a computer-controlled pump. Solutions can be easily exchanged using a laboratory pipette, ensuring simple exchange of solution, and low compound consumption. The Port-a-Patch mini can be used as an alternative to conventional patch clamp and as a teaching tool. It offers access to high quality patch clamp data with only minimal training.
