Automated patch clamp
ID: automated-patch-clamp
Automated patch clamp is a high-throughput technique used in electrophysiology to study the electrical properties of cells, particularly neurons and other excitable cells. It involves the use of specialized equipment to rapidly and accurately form a tight seal (or "patch") between a glass pipette and the cell membrane, allowing for the measurement of ionic currents that flow through individual ion channels or the entire cell membrane.
