Advanced electrophysiology & functional cellular phenotyping 

High-precision patch clamp electrophysiology to measure and interpret electrical and ionic function in single cells under controlled physiological conditions. 

What we can do: 

  • Whole-cell and perforated patch clamp recordings 
  • Action potential clamp and voltage clamp protocols 
  • Functional characterization of ion channels, transporters, and membrane excitability 
  • Quantitative interpretation of electrophysiological data using mechanistic models 

Cell types: 

  • Primary cardiomyocytes 
  • Other excitable cells (e.g. neurons, muscle cells) 
  • Non-excitable cells expressing ionic currents or transporters 
  • Engineered and transfected cell lines 

Typical problems this enables: 

  • Functional validation of drug targets beyond expression data 
  • Mechanistic assessment of electrophysiological safety and efficacy
