A pipette holder for use in patch-clamp measurements.
A novel design for a pipette holder for use in patch-clamp experiments is presented. The holder is designed for use in patch-clamp amplifiers equipped with female BNC-type connectors on the headstage. In this design the glass micropipette cannot contact the Ag/AgCl electrode, thus avoiding deterioration and subsequent offset voltages and baseline current drifts of the Ag/AgCl electrode, induced by frequent replacement of micropipettes.
