WPI’s Quietest Intracellular Amplifier! BAT POW TERY ERE D Electro 705 LE TAB POR AMPLIFIERS, ELECTROMETERS A low noise high quality intracellular amplifier well-suited for the student lab Photo shows two units arranged for differential recording. Manipulators not included. ● 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. $ SYS-705 Electro 705 Electrometer 1,530 Probe, driven guard shield and micropipette holder MEH1SF included for glass microelectrodes O.D. 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, or 2.0 mm.
