The Optopatcher combines a recording electrode with an optical fiber in a compact holder for optogenetic applications.

Welcome to Neuroscience 2013! We’re unveiling the optopatcher, a new tool for optogenetics, as well as Model 3820 Stimulus Isolator, at our booth (#1729) today.

The optopatcher is a new micropipette holder with an integrated optical fiber and a recording electrode for optogenetic activation in in-vivo patch clamp protocols. The compact electrode holder is compatible with many connectors and capillary glasses and eliminates the need for a second manipulator.

Model 3820: Stimulus Isolator

Also on display are our MultiStim: Programmable 8-Channel Stimulator (Model 3800) and Stimulus Isolator (Model 3820) as well as the Model 2400 Patch Clamp Amplifier and a range of intra- and extracellular amplifiers.

Stop by our booth (#1729) and say hi to Dr. Jon Bakin and Dr. Dave Mittmann who’ll be happy to answer your questions.
