Cellectricon launches physiological ion channel research module

Cellectricon has announced the launch of its new Dynaflow Resolve Temperature Control system at the Neuroscience 2013 industry conference in San Diego.

The device is an add-on for the Dynaflow Resolve automated perfusion system, which uses microfluidics for rapid and efficient solution exchange experiments and allows users to take measurements of ion channel currents, regardless of cell type or compound.

With the new Temperature Control system, high-performance patch clamp experiments can be conducted at physiological temperatures, from room temperature up to 45 degrees C. This will be particularly useful in ion channel kinetics and toxicity screening applications.

As such, scientists can expect reliable, reproducible results in constant physiological conditions when using the product.

The manufacturer said: "Developed in response to customer demand, the Dynaflow Resolve Temperature Control guarantees precise, definable temperature control and complete stability, even for hour-long experiments."

Cellectricon is headquartered in Sweden and provides discovery services and technologies for use in drug development and cell-based research.
