QChips
An essential part of the Qube system is the measurement plate, the QChip 384. Sophion has an extensive knowledge of making cells seal tightly on to planar surfaces and handling liquids in micro fluidic channels. This has been miniaturized to find room for 384 measurement sites on a standard SBS footprint. There are different QChips but the all provide:
- Giga-seal technology
- 384 Integrated electrode pairs
- Maintenance free and ready to use
- Capable of long (> 1 hour) experiments with no electrode drift
- Precise liquid handling in micro-fluidic flow channels
Choose your QChip version depending on your needs
QChip 384 – Single-hole per measurement site
QChip 384X – 10-hole per measurement site
QChip 384D – Varying number of holes
QChip 384C – Custom number of holes and hole sizes
Applications
QChip 384 in combination with Qube can be used for:
- Primary screening of any ion channel
- Compound characterization
- Across plate or cumulative dose-response characterization
- Biophysical characterization of any ion channel
