VesiclePrepPro

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Vesicle Prep Pro is an automated system designed for the preparation of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), which are crucial for studying biophysical properties of lipid membranes and proteins. It offers a standardized method to produce solvent-free GUVs with high reproducibility and yield.
Technical Specifications: The system includes the Vesicle Prep Pro, a Vesicle Prep Chamber, integrated temperature control, ITO slides, and VesicleControl software for Windows. The station measures 16 x 14 x 6.5 cm and weighs 1.8 kg, while the chamber is 8.3 x 6 x 1.3 cm. It supports vesicle sizes from 1 to 30 µm, with an average size of 10 µm, and operates within a temperature range of RT to 70°C.
Performance: The system achieves a 100% success rate in GUV formation, with preparation times ranging from 20 to 300 minutes depending on the lipid and protocol. It operates with a voltage amplitude of +/- 10 V and a frequency range of 0 to 1000 Hz.
Applications: The Vesicle Prep Pro is used for forming stable bilayers for electrophysiological recordings, allowing for high-resolution, low-noise data collection. It supports a variety of lipids and proteins, including ion channels and transporters.
Testimonials: Users from various universities have praised the system for its ease of use, efficiency, and the quality of support provided by Nanion. It is particularly noted for its utility in bioelectronics research and the study of recombinant channel proteins.
Contact Information: Nanion has offices in Europe, USA, China, and Japan, with distribution partners in several other countries. Contact details and further information can be found on their website.
