EPC 10 USB 放大器可選購不同數量的配置：單台 (#EPC 10 USB)、2台 (EPC 10 USB Double)、3台 (#EPC 10 USB Triple)、4台(#EPC 10 USB  Quadro)。

• 全電腦膜片鉗放大器，內建資料擷取介面
• 整合內建低噪音LIH  8+8資料擷取介面和放大器，提供最佳的接地、排除外部連結、僅需要1個USB 2.0 (高速)端口連接。
• 兼容Windows或Mac OS系統，藉由PATCHMASTER或PATCHMASTER PRO軟體完全操控。
• 軟體測試與校正程序允許使用者在一分鐘內驗證儀器的工作狀態。一般的校正通常需要將放大器拿去客服中心，但本裝置可以自行進行，僅需數分鐘，不須額外費用；更重要的是，紀錄設置將無停機時間。另外，若有需要，前置放大器(Headstage)可以由使用者更換與校正。
• EPC 10 USB具高增益範圍(50GΩ反饋電阻) C-Slow Compsemsation，適用低噪音全細胞測量。
• 超薄低噪音前置放大器(Headstage)設計，針對單通道、全細胞、Loosepatch current recording最佳化。
• 電阻切換前置放大器(headstage)帶3增益範圍，在實驗中可切換。
• True Current Clamp功能。
  
• 低頻電壓鉗 Low-Frequency Clamp (LFVC)模式，在電流鉗測量時於一個期望水平，提供自動注入適量電流以保持膜電位。
• 溫和切換電壓鉗至電流鉗。（注入電流=電壓鉗模式下的電流顯示器)
• 自動或手動C-Fast和C-Slow電容中和。
• 電容追蹤。
• 非電壓門控性通道的硬體漏氣補償。
• 真實噪音量測（100Hz~15 kHz)
• 內建音頻產生器，可由軟體完全控制。
• 後面板16 Digital-in和 16 Digital-Out連接。前面板的BNC端口可提供3個Digital-Out連接器。
• 放大器所有設定和參數可和資料一起儲存。
• 可選購控制EPC 10 USB的EPC DLL(動態鏈結資料庫），讓使用者自行編寫Windows 應用程式。

EPC 10 USB Single

Patch Clamp Amplifier

Common Features

• The only fully computerized patch clamp amplifier in the industry that has a built-in data acquisition interface.
• The integration of the built-in low noise LIH 8+8 data acquisition interface and the amplifier provides optimal grounding, removes external connections and only requires a single USB 2.0 (Hi-speed) port connection.
• Compatible with either Windows or Mac OS systems, fully controlled via the PATCHMASTER or PATCHMASTER PRO software.
• Software testing and calibration routines allows the user to verify the working condition of the instrument within minutes. Calibration, which typically required that the amplifier be taken out of service can be performed in-house, within a few minutes, with no additional expense, and more importantly no downtime to the recording setup. In addition, if needed, the headstage can be easily replaced and calibrated by the user.
• The EPC 10 USB features C-Slow compensation in the high gain range (50 GΩ feedback resistor) for low noise whole-cell measurements.
• Ultra slim low noise headstage design is optimized for single-channel, whole-cell and loosepatch current recordings.
• Resistor switching headstage with three gain ranges can be switched during an experiment.
• True Current Clamp capabilities.
• A “Low Frequency Voltage Clamp”(LFVC) mode is provided to automatically inject an appropriate amount of current to preserve the membrane potential, at a desired level during current clamp measurements.
• Gentle Switch option from voltage clamp to current clamp (injection current is equal to the current monitor in voltage clamp mode).
• Automatic or manual C-Fast and C-Slow capacitance neutralization.
• Capacitance tracking.
• Hardware leak compensation for non-voltage gated channels.
• True noise measurements from 100 Hz to 15 kHz.
• Built-in tone generator fully controlled by software.
• 16 Digital-In and 16 Digital-Out connections at the rear panel. Three of the Digital-Out connectors are also provided via BNC on the front panel.
• All amplifier settings and parameters are stored with the data.
• EPC DLL (dynamic link library) for controlling the EPC 10 USB is available for writing custom Windows applications.
