Patch-Clamp Recording Protocol

The major limitation of in vivo patch-clamp recording is its technical difficulty, which requires experienced personnel and a large amount of patience. The workflow of patch-clamp recording involves pressing a glass micropipette against a cell in order to isolate a small "patch" of membrane that contains one or more ion channel...

The Patch-Clamp Technique

Cellular physiological properties are closely related to the biological, chemical and physical properties of cells. The patch clamp technique is a laboratory technique in electrophysiology, which is used to study ionic currents in individual isolated living cells, tissue sections, or patches of cell membrane, investigating cellular physiological function...

Laboratory Techniques in Electrophysiology

Measuring electrical currents passing through ion channels or changes in cell membrane potential, electrophysiology techniques are used to record the electrical activity of neurons, or evaluate compound cardiovascular safety. In brief, there are three fundamental types of electrophysiological probes that can measure activity...
