Stable-tip electrode holder Amplifier Electrode
Holders
The new Stable-tip
electrode holders eliminate the final instability link in
the electrophysiology experimental setup. We’ve taken a thermally stable
base material and coated it with Alumina Oxide. This coating has two
benefits:
first, it is non-conductive so the holder does not act as an electrical
antenna;
second, it is very resistant to corrosion. Under conditions of a high resistance electrode seal (gigaseal), the ST
series
electrode holder has a noise level of 0.79–0.80 pA RMS (5kHz filter);
polycarbonate measured 0.78–0.79 pA (reported using an Axopatch 200B in
whole-cell mode). The base material of the Stable-tip has a thermal
expansion coefficient of 23μm/m°C versus 70μm/m°C of a polycarbonate
holder. That is an improvement by a factor of three. The Stable-tip electrode holders come with one (1) each of Ag-wires and
wire
seals.
NOTE: Pipette
seals
are not required for the
latest model ST-50.
When ordering, specify the headstage amplifier.
If ordering for a Axon
CV-4 the major diameter of the
of the mounting feature is needed. |
