LN-PCS

Our novel patented Pipette Cleaning System with real-time controlled pressure system

 

Immediate reuse of patch- clamp pipettes after ultrasonic cleaning

LN-PCS Control Box, up to 12 pipettes can be cleaned individually or simultaneously

 

4 Channel System equipped with 2 ultrasonic electrode holders

How are we cleaning without chemicals?

Ultrasonic is the most effective way to clean any glass in a lab or industrial environment. By using the perfect Ultrasonic-Frequency for glass, particles get loosened and flushed away. We downsized the ultrasound mechanism to fit it inside our electrode holder. This enables us to clean electrodes without endangering cells with toxic chemical residues.

This allows for a chemical-free procedure that protects your cells.

We do it the smart way by not using cleaning solutions and instead of cleaning the recording pipette with ultrasonic. The LN-PCS combines the best of both worlds, removing particulates from your recording electrode using ultrasonic and flushing them away using over and under pressure. There is no need for rinsing or using chemicals.

Slim design ready for multipatch requirements

 

No over/underpressure connection is needed in your lab, and No PC software is required

Because it is a standalone system, you don’t need to have an external over/underpressure connection. Using the SM10 remote control you are able to activate the system and adjust it to your preferences, with no need for software on your PC.

Modular System from 1-12 channels/pipettes

The system design offers a simple way to upgrade to additional channels. That way you are able to expand your science gradually.

Do you need a custom-designed chamber?

No, because we don’t require a chamber for Alconox or a rinsing solution. The system is compatible with any chamber on the market. Falcon or NUNC dishes, Slice chambers from LN, Warner Instruments, or any existing chamber.

Example System with 12 Junior Manipulators equipped with LN-PCS stabilisation and LN-MPscope

Specs:

  • The base system starts with one channel, includes a LN-PCS-Pipette holder and an inbuilt over/underpressure system.

  • It is easily upgradeable to up to 12 channels using the same housing.

  • Cleaning each electrode individually or all at once using the touchscreen selection menu on your SM10 Touch.

  • The cost-effective price allows access to anyone.

  • No electrical noise due to the sophisticated shielding.

  • Adjustable frequency of the ultrasonic.

  • 5 distinct cleaning protocols can be saved.

  • Individual cleaning positions can be saved.

  • Controllable over/underpressure through PC Interface. Control all functions through the easy to program PC interface.

  • Real-time, closed-loop system allows ultra-responsive adjustment of the pressure, individually for every channel. This opens the system for automized patch recordings.

  • The display shows the pressure for each channel, incl during the use of a mouthpiece for manual underpressure.
