Xenopus Oocyte Research

Oocytes of the toad Xenopus laevis are widely used as an expression system for ion channels, transporters and receptors in drug development.

Until now, the low throughput of electrophysiology has prevented its use for secondary functional screening of drug targets.

Multi Channel Systems is proud to present you three helpful robots to automate all necessary tasks:

• Automated injection with the Roboinject:
  A fully automated robot for compound injection into oocytes, eggs, and embryos using industry standard 96, 384, as well as custom well plates.
• Automated drug screening with the Roboocyte:
  Sequential two-electrode voltage clamp (TEVC) recording in oocytes, classical perfusion of compounds.
• Automated drug screening with the HiClamp:
  Sequential two-electrode voltage clamp (TEVC) recording in oocytes, non-destructive usage of small compound volumes.
