All EPC 10 USB and EPC 800 patch clamp amplifiers are now shipped standard with the Red Star Headstage with improved noise performance. Especially the most relevant bandwidth between 1 and 10 kHz is now significantly quieter.

The unique feature of the S-Probe is the massively reduced size and weight compared to our standard headstages. This increases the area of applications e.g. wherever the experimental space is limited or where the weight of the headstage itself matters. The cable is very flexible and therefore prevents cable stress.

Model circuit for verification of single-electrode voltage clamp amplifiers, such as the EPC 10 USB amplifier. The model circuit connects to the probe input and can be switched to simulate one of three conditions, an open pipette in the bath, a cell-attached configuration and a whole-cell configuration.

HEKA's pipette holder are made of extremely low-noise polycarbonate, offers two major improvements that virtually eliminate pipette movement and air leakage by elongation of the holder's cap and addition of a third O-ring.

HEKA's new microelectrode holder, made of extremely low noise polycarbonate, offers a very low noise contact for microelectrodes, eliminates electrode movement by a special holder cap and seals the contact from liquid or evaporating solvents.

Three-port pipette holder for theta glass. The two electrical ports have male SMA connectors. A 1.5 mm (OD) steel tube allows to connect a pipette pressure control system.

A straight optical port (SMA-type) couples a HEKA cannula to an optical fiber. Under 40°, a second SMA-type port connects a silver wire. Under 90°, a third 1.5 mm OD steel tube allows to connect to a pressure control device. The cannula and silver wire can be inserted to a pipette with 1.5 mm OD and 0.86 mm ID.
