Title:
PLANAR PATCH CLAMP DEVICE, ELECTRODES FOR SAID DEVICE AND CELL ION CHANNEL CURRENT MEASUREMENT METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/094418
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
In order to reduce a noise current by suppressing variations in an applied membrane potential in a planar patch clamp device, enabling an ion channel current to be accurately measured, this planar patch clamp device is provided with a liquid reservoir that has at least one fine through-hole disposed on an electrically insulative substrate, and holds a conductive liquid on surfaces on both sides of the through-hole; and electrodes, which are capable of being energized, are disposed in said liquid reservoir. The electrodes are provided with: (a) an electrode vessel, wherein part of the vessel wall comprises an inorganic porous material; (b) an electrode, wherein a noble metal chloride (NmCl) layer is formed on the surface of the noble metal (Nm); and (c) an electrode solution, wherein the noble metal chloride and an alkali metal chloride are dissolved at a saturated concentration.
