ACTIVITIES
• Generation of full set of data by expert staff (experimental design, data acquisition, analysis and interpretation)
• Access to the equipment for independent use• Preliminary experiments designed to assess project feasibility
• Consulting
• Training scientists to electrophysiology techniques
• Development of new assays on demand
EQUIPMENT
• Patch-clamp rig equipped with an inverted fluorescence microscope, amplifier and micromanipulator for patch-clamp recordings from cell culture
• Patch-clamp rig equipped with an upright fluorescence and optogenetic microscope, amplifier and micromanipulator for patch- clamp recordings from brain slice and zebrafish
• Multielectrode Array (MEA) system for multi- recordings of extracellular field potential
from brain slices and cell culture, including iPSC-derived cells (field evoked postynaptic potential (fPSP) and spontaneous spike)
• Fast pressurized system for recording of ligand-gated ion channels and fast drug application; a temperature control system• Electrode puller, microforge…
