Features: This book, from the perspective of practical application, introduces the basic concepts, methods, and experimental techniques of the patch clamp technique. It also provides a detailed explanation of the use of patch clamp experimental instruments and sampling software pClamp produced by Axon Company (now Molecular Devices). Additionally, it offers in-depth solutions to common issues encountered in patch clamp experiments. The book consists of five chapters, including the basic concepts of patch clamp technique, experimental methods of patch clamp technique, brain slice patch clamp recording techniques, patch clamp amplifiers and digital-to-analog/analog-to-digital converters, and application software for patch clamp technique. Furthermore, the appendix introduces the common types and performance characteristics of current patch clamp amplifiers. A major feature of this book is its emphasis on experiential and skill-based introductions, making it highly practical. The book is highly suitable as a reference guide for experimental technicians and researchers engaged in patch clamp technology (including master's and doctoral students in universities, colleges, and research institutions), as well as a training textbook for patch clamp technology. It can also serve as an introductory book for researchers in physiology, neuroscience, cell biology, and related fields to learn about patch clamp techniques. Additionally, the book can provide references for laboratories purchasing patch clamp amplifiers and holds certain value for marketing professionals in the patch clamp experimental equipment market.
