Automated Patch Clamp
IonFlux Mercury 16
Patch Clamp Automation at the Price of Manual
Your new lab partner
IonFlux Mercury 16 makes automated patch clamp recordings easier and more affordable than ever! Features include 16 parallel recordings using 16 independent amplifiers, remote and touch screen experiment execution, compact “plate reader” footprint, highly extended recording times, exceptionally fast fluid exchange, standardized temperature control, and optional current clamp. IonFlux Mercury 16 is the most advanced yet affordable high throughput automated patch clamp instrument on the market.
