Sutter Instrument’s patch clamp amplifier systems, the IPA® Family and the dPatch® Amplifier systems combine these The conventional architecture of an electrophysiology system follows a three-tier structure consisting of an amplifier, a computer interface, and data acquisition software. Sutter Instrument’s patch clamp amplifier systems, the IPA® Family and the dPatch® Amplifier systems combine these three tiers into convenient, fully integrated packages that include the increasingly popular SutterPatch® Data Acquisition, Management and Analysis Software. The Dendrite™ system meets the needs of customers who want to combine an existing amplifier with the functionality of SutterPatch software.
Featuring eight analog input signals, four analog output lines and eight digital outputs, at a sampling rate of up to 50kHz, the Dendrite system covers the majority of electrophysiology applications. Independent 16-bit A-D and D-A converters constitute state-of-the-art technology that avoids crosstalk and provides adequate resolution for virtually all use case scenarios. Trigger in- and output lines enable coordination with other equipment.
Connection to the computer is conveniently established through a High Speed USB 2.0 connection and the installation of drivers and SutterPatch software is typically completed within minutes. The Dendrite system accepts input from the majority of patch clamp and other electrophysiology amplifiers that comply with the common standard of +/-10 V signal range. It also controls amplifiers and peripherals that accept analog or digital input according to common standards....

Using high-speed digital processing, matched with high-resolution data converters and paired with SutterPatch® software’s intuitive user interface, this low noise, high Sutter Instrument is proud to introduce the latest tool for electrophysiology research, the dPatch® Digital Patch Clamp Amplifier. Using high-speed digital processing, matched with high-resolution data converters and paired with SutterPatch® software’s intuitive user interface, this low noise, high bandwidth device provides capabilities previously unavailable to electrophysiologists.
Available in either a single- or dual-headstage configuration, the dPatch amplifier’s architecture makes swapping headstages, or adding a second one to a single-headstage version, a plug-and-play operation. The two headstages are independently configurable for either voltage clamp or true high-speed current clamp. Data is streamed from each headstage in parallel and fully synchronized.
Features:- Fully integrated single- or dual-headstage patch clamp amplifier and data acquisition system ensures quick and easy setup
- Optimized for whole-cell patch clamp recordings in tissue slices, adherent or dissociated cells
- Full computer control provides automated compensation of electrode and whole cell capacitance
- Voltage and true current clamp capability for complete characterization of cells' electrical activity
- Line frequency reduction in SutterPatch
- High bandwidth enables characterization of the fastest signals
- Three Headstage feedback ranges for single-channel and whole-cell patch clamp recordings
- Comprehensive digital compensation circuitry provides utmost precision and signal fidelity
- Bundled SutterPatch software provides versatile data management, intuitive navigation and streamlined data analysis

In all, the central concept is that manipulators and the sample are fixed in one frame, and the microscope is fixed in a second frame. These two separate frames of reference are then moved with respect to each other in order to locate cells. Sutter Instrument is now offering several systems, or "Big Kits", that include dual manipulators with: either manipulator stands and scope translator; or large moving stage and a dual manipulator system. By specifying and offering the Big Kit systems, Sutter is able to extend significant price savings over the same components purchased separately.... Read More |
