Clemons Exhibitor Presentation Sutter Instrument 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm, Room 218 SCIENTISTS EMPOWERING SCIENTISTS Patch clamp electrophysiology, which started as a highly specialized technique, is now considered a primary tool for biological research. To meet the needs of the research community, Sutter Instrument has introduced a new line of flexible and intuitive patch clamp amplifiers and data acquisition software. The IPA ® Amplifier and SutterPatch ® Software will allow the researcher to quickly set up and perform routine tasks, but still have the flexibility to meet the demands of the experienced electrophysiologist. At this presentation, we will demonstrate how the IPA Integrated Patch Amplifier, the new Double IPA ® Amplifier and SutterPatch Software can be used for a variety of common experiments, including characteriza- tion of ionic current and recording synaptic events in tissue slices. We will also show how the IPA family of amplifiers and SutterPatch software can be used in much more complex acquisition and analysis scenarios. Molbæk 932-Plat

Data collection in SutterPatch Software was designed to track envi- ronmental variables along with the context of each sample within an experiment, so that all data are recorded together for future reference. We focused on creating an intuitive navigational interface to make large data sets more manageable. Controls that are already familiar to you, from electrophysiology software or applications in other fields, make finding a specific section of an experiment very easy. Where ap- propriate, we used innovative new approaches to make the interface as simple and powerful as possible. Paradigms and Routines control the experiment in a way that enables a high degree of automation, helping to eliminate operator bias. Real- time decision making and sophisticated control of the experimental flow are made easy with a comprehensive set of sample parameters. Even complex stimulus waveforms can easily be configured using the Waveform Editor or a template created from a recorded or synthesized signal. Who should attend? • Electrophysiologists who use amplifiers, micropipettes and mi- cromanipulators for patch clamp, sharp electrode or extracellular recordings. • Researchers who perform patch clamp recordings in tissue slices, dissociated cells, cell lines or in vivo preparations. • Anybody who is interested in the latest feature-rich hardware and software for electrophysiology applications.
