Smart tools for ion channel research “Nanion’s Port-a-Patch is an excellent instrument for research labs working with undergraduate students. Manual patch-clamping methods depend to a large extend on the skills of the operator. They require long training periods. For a typical undergraduate student it takes over a year to learn patch-clamping. Port-a-Patch reduces that time to only weeks and the most difficult part is to understand the software that controls the instrument. This allows undergraduate students to actively participate in real research projects.” Professor Armin Kargol, Loyola University...
