Total Control in Patch-Clamp
Micromanipulation means your fingertip commands are instantly and precisely
converted to smooth and predictable pipette motion without drift. Only
Burleigh piezoelectric micromanipulators provide this capability because
we use the solid-state stability of piezoelectric (PZT) technology. PZT
actuators are solid ceramic structures that expand under applied voltage.
When controlled by Burleigh’s drive electronics and ergonomic control interface,
extremely precise, fast, stiff and stable positioning is easily achieved.
The position of each PZT actuator is determined by the DC voltage applied
by the power supply. Burleigh’s linear low-noise electronics and cables
are fully shielded and carefully grounded to produce negligible interference
with your recordings. Burleigh Instruments PCS-5000 Micromanipulators give
you rapid, easy pipette exchange. Two pivot stages allow the entire micromanipulator
assembly to be rotated forward. In the forward position, the headstage
and pipette holder are very accessible, making pipettes easy to remove
and insert. After a new pipette is installed, the micromanipulator assembly
is rotated back to a precise and repeatable position. |
