The flyion Approach
In its conventional form, the patch clamp method is extremely labor-intensive and calls for high manual dexterity to produce reliable results. A well trained scientist will typically perform only 10-15 measurements per day. Attempts to automate the conventional experiment have failed.
flyion has simplified the patch clamp experiment with the invention of its patented Flip-the-Tip™ method that lends itself perfectly to automation. Reliable measurement results can thus be obtained more quickly and cheaply. Special manual skills are not required.
Affordable device prices combined with the use of inexpensive consumables keep the costs of individual measurements low. The entire drug development process is also becoming cheaper, since unsuitable drug candidates are eliminated at an early stage and thus costly mistakes can be avoided.
