Title:
PLANAR SUBSTRATE TYPE PATCH-CLAMP DEVICE FOR MEASURING ION CHANNEL ACTIVITY, SUBSTRATE FOR FABRICATING PATCH-CLAMP DEVICE AND METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/116978
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A patch-clamp device of the planar substrate type wherein an ultramicropore is formed through a substantially planar SOI substrate, a cell membrane is located around the inlet of the ultramicropore, and electrodes are provided across the cell membrane, the ultramicropore and a conductive liquid so that the current between the electrodes can be taken out. Use of this device makes it possible to measure the activity degree of an ion channel protein in the cell membrane at a high responsiveness.
