stages

Over the last 20 years, electrophysiology rigs have developed around several platforms. In all, the central concept is that manipulators and the sample are fixed in one frame, and the microscope is fixed in a second frame. These two separate frames of reference are then moved with respect to each other in order to locate cells. Sutter Instrument is now offering several systems, or “Big Kits”, that include dual manipulators with: either manipulator stands and scope translator; or large moving stage and a dual manipulator system. By specifying and offering these Big Kit bundled electrophysiology systems, Sutter is able to extend significant price savings over the same components purchased separately.
