Features of Axon Axoclamp 900A
- Five modes of operation provide the broadest range of electrophysiological applications
- Software control of all amplifier settings for automated optimization features, reduction of manipulation steps, and convenient, reliable telegraphing
- Optional SoftPanel allows amplifier control using knobs and buttons for a more conventional feel to amplifier control
- Large output compliance range (±180 V in TEVC and HVIC modes) enable passing larger currents and ensures faster clamp speeds
- Wide AC voltage clamp gain ranges in TEVC and dSEVC modes for excellent voltage control
- Space-saving headstage design for easier access to the preparation on a crowded microscope stage
- New dSEVC design with more stability and faster clamp provides an excellent alternative to standard continuous single-electrode voltage clamping
- Pipette Capacitance Compensation neutralizes the contribution of the glass pipette and the pipette holder to the capacitance of the circuitry
- Automatic oscillation detection prevents damage to a cell when electrical feedback occurs
- Selectable output gain with 11 settings to scale the output signal to the desired level
- Audio monitor for acoustic tracking of the signal while you are busy looking down a microscope
- Fine-tunable 4-pole Bessel and Butterworth low-pass filters act as anti-aliasing filters and can be used to pre-condition the output signal
- Buzz feature with a hand-held remote switch facilitates breaking through cell membranes
- Two included pipette holders of different barrel lengths accept glass pipettes in most standard dimensions
- User guide written by scientific consultants, with the assistance of Axon Instruments staff, for straightforward start-up and as an in-depth reference
