Using the MultiClamp 700A – Tutorials
The purpose of this chapter is to lead the user through the basics of patch clamping and
‘sharp’ microelectrode recording, using the PATCH-1U model cell that comes with the
MultiClamp 700A. The tutorials are designed to illustrate the operation of the
MultiClamp 700A and the MultiClamp Commander. Although this chapter is
primarily directed at inexperienced electrophysiologists, it may also be useful for
experienced researchers who desire a simple introduction to the features of the
MultiClamp 700A.
It is recommended that the tutorials are done in order, because later tutorials assume
knowledge gained in earlier ones.
Check List
These tutorials require the following:
1. MultiClamp 700A main unit, plus one or (optionally) two CV-7A headstages,
connected to a PC as described in Chapter 2. The tutorials will assume that only
Headstage 1 is being tested.
2. PATCH-1U model cell.
