About SEC-03M

The SEC-03M is a switched mode single electrode voltage and current clamp amplifier module for
recordings with sharp microelectrodes or suction (patch) pipettes.

Now it is possible to combine up to three SEC amplifiers in one 19 inch housing for investigating coupled cells and, if using npi’s
software CellWorks, no BNC cabling is required. All signals are linked internally to the INT-20M breakout box via the EPMS bus.
Or combine an SEC-03M with a PEN-03M module for easy cell penetration or with a HVC-03M module to get a single and a two-electrode voltage-clamp system in one EPMS-housing.

SEC amplifiers are also available as 19″ stand-alone devices.

Features

SEC-03M – Single Electrode Voltage and Current Clamp Amplifier Module

Best suited to measure coupled cells
DUAL-SEC
TRIPLE-SEC

The combination with PEN-03M and HVC-03M modules forms a versatile system capable of

  • Recording with sharp microelectrodes
  • Recording with patch pipettes in whole-cell or perforated patch configuration
  • Single electrode recording (CC and VC) independently from two cells
  • Two electrode recording (CC and VC) from one cell
  • Ultra-fast Iontophoresis

The SEC is also available in as 19″ rackmount instrument.
