QVac vacuum pump

QVac vacuum pump for sufficient and stable vacuum

Sophion-QVac

QVac vacuum pump solution

Establishing good whole cells with clean holes and hence low series resistance is important. All Sophion automated patch clamp platforms uses vacuum. Therefore, to ensure sufficient and stable vacuum, we offer a QVac solution:

  • Stable and sufficient vacuum
  • Clean-cut whole-cells
  • Precise handling of intra-cellular liquid
  • Can support multiple Qube and QPatch systems

We can supply the following QVac solutions:

Cat. No. SB3010 refers to
one QVac for 110 V for North America

Cat. No. SB3015 refers to
one QVac for 100 V for Japan

Cat. No. SB3020 refers to
one QVac for 230 V for EU, UK and China

  • "In the past, if I was lucky, I could fully test one compound for full dose responses on one ion channel in one day. Now I can test eight compounds on three ion channels and get full dose responses. It’s a huge difference."

  • "We let Qube 384 run our large screening campaigns unattended during the night, so we can develop new assays on the same instruments during the day."

    Juha Kammonen, Charles River Laboratories, Senior Research Leader Early Discovery

  • "For over a decade, we have used Sophion QPatch to support hit-to-lead and lead optimization, in addition to cardiac safety profiling. The addition of a QPatch II and a Qube 384 upgrades and extends our capacity for these efforts and now adds a Sophion platform for electrophysiology-based high-throughput screening. "

  • "A good field service and application support from Sophion enable us to sustain our operations with minimal interruption or unnecessary delays."

  • "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."
