Nanion achieves outstanding rank for overall instrument performance in a recent ion channel survey by HTStec focused on real user experience of automated patch clamping (“HTStec Ion Channel Trends 2005″)!

In September 2005, HTStec has published a new ion channel survey focused on user experience of automated patch clamping. The objective of this global benchmarking study is to comprehensively document current practices and technology preferences, progress in implementing high throughput electrophysiology (automated patch clamping) and future trends in ion channel screening.
One of the key outcomes of this survey, is the overwhelming success of Nanions Port-a-Patch: more than 80% of the Port-a-Patch users are very happy with overall instrument performance! This is by far the best rank compared to other instrument providers. The statistics are shown in the table below.
