Learn more about QPatch Compact

Built on 20 years of experience from QPatch® automatic cell preparation, the QPrep delivers more reproducible cell preparation than using a standard table centrifuge where success rates varies.

  • "We wanted to work with individual cells and be able to halt experiments and adjust the protocol if a patch is stable. This flexibility in the workflow is really attractive for us with the QPatch Compact."

    Anders Riisager, Senior Scientist, NMD Pharma A/S

  • "With QPatch Compact, we get the perfect balance of control and automation at a throughput that suits our experiments. QPatch Compact enables us to ask better questions."

    Martin Gruwier Broch-Lips, Head of Biological Research, NMD Pharma A/S

  • "The QPatch Compact user interface and software is very powerful in getting throughput, and it enables you to set up protocols and templates in your analysis and then it quickly gives you the data points you need."

    Anders Riisager, Senior Scientist, NMD Pharma A/S

  • "Sophion provides the best solution for us when it comes to system, service, and support. Thanks to a long-term collaboration, the majority of B'SYS cell lines are validated for use across Sophion’s APC platforms."

    Daniel Konrad, MD, B’SYS GmbH, CEO

  • "Our collaboration with Sophion and access to their expertise is a real-world example of what you can achieve with automated patch clamping and an expert supplier."

    Fredrik Elinder, Professor, Linköping University, Department of Biomedical and Clinical Sciences, Division of Neurobiology
