Closed-Loop Positioning for Patch Clamping
The use of closed-loop positioning on the microscope, stage and manipulators means the Sensapex FN-M is the most accurate patch clamp system on the market—ensuring all moving parts end up exactly where they are supposed to—every time.
Flexible and Smooth Positioning with Motorized Nosepiece Options
The Sensapex FN-M can be configured with a single or dual motorized nosepiece providing extra flexible, smooth movement between positions without sacrificing sample positioning or focus.
Effortless Setup and Control
The plug and play installation and intuitive touch-screen interface make the Sensapex FN-M easy to configure and use. Less distractions and time lost on configuration leaves more time and attention for experiments.
- Touch screen display shows coordinates of manipulator
- Sleep mode for recording
- Connects up to four manipulators per HUB Lite
- Millisecond level control synchrony between manipulators and computer through Ethernet interface
