Electro 705 Intracellular Amplifier

BUY ONLINE AT WPI

Remote Headstage — Easily mounted in any manipulator, this small probe, containing the first stage of amplification, includes a microelectrode holder, which plugs directly into the probe input.
Battery Power — Four 9V alkaline batteries (included) power the Electro 705 for approximately 500 hours giving a super clean low noise source of power making the Electro 705 the quietest amplifier available. Batteries can be easily tested by the press of a button.
Capacitance Compensation — Corrects for loss of rise time caused by the presence of electrode capacity. Up to 50 pF of electrode shunt capacity may be neutralized.
Driven Guard Shield — Stray capacitance can be further reduced by placing the driven guard shield (included) over the microelectrode holder at the input end of the probe.
Tickler Circuit — A momentary oscillation that helps achieve cell penetration.
Electrode Resistance Test — The 705 provides a 1 nA electrode test current. Electrode resistance is monitored at the 1X output as a voltage (1 mV/M).
Probe Test Port — Allows the convenience of testing the amplifier's intrinsic noise and gain without cumbersome external test hookups. Gate leakage current can also be adjusted with minimum effort.
Baseline Position Control — Adds or subtracts up to 300 mV to the headstage output, allowing artifact voltages such as liquid junction potentials to be nulled prior to recording.
Differential Output — Two Electro 705s can be connected in tandem to create an optional differential amplifier probe system.
