Micromanipulators

The PCS-6000 micromanipulator offers extremely precise, fast, stiff and stable micropositioning for electrophysiology research. By being able to choose from a variety of configurations with the combination of motorized long travel and PZT smoothness, you have total control.

Features Benefits
  • NEW! Easy-set motorized memory positions
  • Minimize experimental set up time
  • NEW! Intuitive computer controlled user interface software
  • Minimize time lag between sample preparation and performing experiment
  • 25mm of motorized travel for rapid coarse positioning
  • Your fingertip commands are instantly converted to smooth, predictable motion
  • PZT technology with nanometer precision for fine positioning
  • High productivity and flexibility
  • 3- and 4-axis systems available with a variety of PZT configurations
  • Complete control of your experiment
  • Negligible drift for ultra-high stability
  • Save costs & benchspace by using one controller for either patching, perfusion or excitation
  • PCS-6000 controller can support an additional manipulator - the PCS-4100
  • Rapid, easy pipette exchange saves time
  • Adjustable home positions on rotary pivot stages
  • Produce negligible interference with your recordings
  • Low-noise electronics and cables are fully shielded and carefully grounded

The PCS-5000 micromanipulator is the solution for total control in patch-clamp micromanipulation. With fingertip commands you have the ability to entirely control your pipette position with three linear axes of travel with 25mm of coarse movement and a choice of 150µm or 300µm of fine movement.

Features Benefits
  • Solid ceramic PZT acutators expand under applied voltage
  • Extremely precise, fast, stiff and stable positioning can be easily achieved, saving you time
  • Entire assembly rotates completely forward with adjustable set stops
  • Simple and easy pipette exchange saves you time
  • Linear low-noise electronics and cables are fully shielded and carefully grounded
  • Your recordings will produce neglibible interference
  • Negligible drift for ultra-high stability
  • Complete control of your experiment

The PCS-500-SSH Steep/Shallow Headstage Adapter adds unprecedented flexibility for positioning the headstage. It allows the orientation of a headstage and pipette holder at very steep or shallow angles. And it further simplifies pipette exchange even when the pipette is in the tightest places. Its symmetrical design offers these capabilities from both the right and left side of the microscope.

Features Benefits
  • Holds the headstage
  • Allows the clearance with the condenser to be maximized.
  • Extends the headstage closer to the brain slice chamber and away from the manipulator
  • Makes it easier to arrange several micromanipulators around one brain slice and its more forgiving as to where you place your manipulator(s)
  • Steep angle
  • Enables you to place the minimum amount of pipette tip into the cell
  • Shallow angle
  • Enables you to have your pipette tip very close to the surface of the cell
  • Quick and easy pipette exchange
  • Aids in your productivity
