MVCS – Iontophoresis

Add to Wishlist Remove from Wishlist

Iontophoresis Amplifier

  • Apply charged substances with high temporatol and spatial precision
  • Target single synaptic boutons – local resolution ~1 µm³
  • High voltage pulses in the sub millisecond range – fastest iontophoretic system on the market
  • Avoid leaking of substances using the hold/retain current settings
  • ±45V or ±150V voltage range with high precision current pump
  • Balance channel with automatic counter-current application to avoid charging of specimen
  • Control the MVCS with any data acquisition system

Features

  • One or two channel versions (upgrade possible)
  • Time resolution: down to 100 µs
  • Spatial resolution: down to 1 µm
  • Simulation of synaptic events, suitable for receptor density mapping
  • Automated balancing of iontophoretic current (option)
  • Currents from tens of pA up to µA
  • High voltage, high speed current source
  • Automated electrode resistance test

Choosing a model

Fast or slow

The fast systems comes with a headstage for each channel. This allows to integrate a capacitance compensation circuitry and resistance measurement. If you need application pulses in the range of a few ms or even below for very focal application, this is the system of choice.

The slower system doesn’t have headstages and capacitance compensation. It is suitable when timing is not an issue (e.g. bulk loading).

 

Balance channel

The balance channel injects the same amount of current into the sample as the application channel(s) – with opposite polarity. This way the overall charge of the sample remains unchanged. This is especially useful, if parallel recordings are performed, where DC shifts would impair the measurement (e.g. patch clamp).

 

45 V or 150 V

For 98% of the experiment the 45 V system is fully sufficient. The 150 V system should only be used, if large current are necessary and even possible. Remember that even npi’s instruments can’t cheat Ohm’s law.

Example: 150 V into a 1 MΩ electrode will generate a current of 150 µA.

ABOUT

In principle, MVCS systems are available as:

  • A very fast (less than 1 ms) version with capacity compensation and electrode resistance test
  • A slower version without capacity compensation and electrode resistance test

Fast systems (MVCS-C-02C) are delivered with headstages, ground connector, a power cord and a user manual.

Slower systems (MVCS-02C) are delivered with connectors for electrode connection and ground, a power cord and a user manual (without headstages).

Standard voltage ranges are ±45 V or ±150 V. Other ranges are available on request.

NOTE: All MVCS systems are also available as one-channel versions and one-channel versions can be ugraded to two channels. Furthermore, all version can also be ordered without a balance channel.
Please contact npi electronic or your distributor for details.

Look at the “MVCS Models” tab below for all options. Customized configurations are possible, please contact npi electronic.

The MVCS is also available as module for the EPMS-07 system.
