HEKA is pleased to introduce the new PROBE SELECTOR. This headstage multiplexing device turns a single EPC 10 patch clamp amplifier into an eight or twelve channel serial patch clamp device. Patch clamp systems with up to 96 channels can be set-up using several probe selectors in combination with a set of EPC 10 DOUBLE or EPC 10 TRIPLE patch clamp amplifiers. Special versions of the PROBE SELECTOR matching your special requirements are available on request.

The multi-patch system is controlled via the PATCHMASTER software and can be built-in your custom automated patch clamp system e.g. via the Batch Mode offered by the PATCHMASTER software.

HEKA's fully computer controlled, digitally integrated patch clamp amplifier EPC 10 revolutionized patch clamp technology by providing unprecedented accuracy, highest degree of automation and versatility. HEKA's headstage multiplexing device or further increases throughput and allows setup of multi-channel patch clamp systems on the basis of the fully computer controlled patch clamp amplifier EPC 10.

The PROBE SELECTOR is available with 8 or 12 channels allowing up to 8 or 12 probes (headstages) to be connected to a single EPC 10 patch clamp amplifier. Special versions of PROBE SELECTOR devices to be used with EPC 10 DOUBLE, TRIPLE or QUATDRO patch clamp amplifiers are available on request.

Each independent amplifier of an EPC 10 DOUBLE, EPC 10 TRIPLE or EPC 10 QUADRO can be extended by a single PROBE SELECTOR allowing to set-up systems with 16/24, 24/36 or 32/48 channels.

The "active" probe of the PROBE SELECTOR behaves like a probe connected directly to the EPC 10, and is indicated by a LED on the front panel.

"Non-active" probes are held at individual holding potentials in the medium gain range. Upon selection of a probe, the gain and holding potential specified of the corresponding amplifier are set.
