The Orbit mini. Plug and paint. • imultaneous recording from four lipid bilayers S • Low noise, high bandwidth recordings • emperature control - active cooling and heating T • ost-efficient experiments with disposable MECA chips C Introducing the Orbit mini – Nanion's entry level device for bilayer recordings Bilayer recordings typically mean tedious waiting for ­ b ­ ilayer formation, ­ rotein introduction and eventually p ion channel activity. The Orbit mini combines the parallel membrane preparation and measurement techniques known from the Orbit 16 with a maximum of portability and ease of use. Orbit mini contains a built-in, miniaturized four-channel amplifier, allowing low noise recordings at high band- Key features of the Orbit mini: width without the need for any additional equipment – • Fast formation of four painted lipid bilayers you could virtually conduct experiments while travelling • Simultaneous low noise, high bandwidth recordings by train! Due to the unique design of the Orbit mini, the from four bilayers • No time consuming disassembly or cleaning between experments measurement chamber temperature can be actively controlled without additional noise gener

Ionera's √16 MECA disposable chips are used for manual painting of lipid bilayers and parallel recording from four bilayers. TThe planar lipid bilayers are done on the 4 channel Micro Electrode Cavity Array 100 ms chip (MECA, Ionera), by manual painting of solvent containing lipids. On the right,...
