npi BA-03X

Bridge mode amplifier npi BA-03X, for intracellular (i. e. current clamp) recording, with compensation for series resistance and capacitance. Usable with sharp microelectrodes or patch pipettes, in whole-cell, cell-attached, or perforated-patch configuration. Also usable for extracellular recordings of sub-mV signals. Multiple options for output gain. Enhanced current range for juxtacellular recordings, electroporation or iontophoresis. Headstage optionally with mount for metal rod (8 mm), dove tail 1 (Scientifica, Sutter), dove tail 2 (Luigs & Neumann), base plate 3 mm (Burleigh).
