Easily measure channel activity at the molecular level.
【Measurement Target Examples】 Ion channels (voltage-dependent, ligand-dependent, temperature-sensitive), DNA nanopores, antimicrobial peptides, toxins, etc. In experiments using artificial lipid bilayers, the formation of lipid membranes, reconstitution of membrane proteins, and measurement of single-channel currents can be easily performed. Purified target membrane proteins (such as ion channels in vivo or artificial ion channels) can be reconstituted on artificially formed lipid bilayers, allowing for the evaluation of drug effects and functional/structural analysis. ■ Simultaneous formation and measurement of 4 channels of artificial lipid bilayers is possible ■ Lipid membranes can be formed with just pipetting operations ■ No need for microscope, vibration isolation table, manipulator, or Faraday cage ■ Direct reconstitution of target membrane proteins or membrane fusion with proteoliposomes ■ Temperature control (10–50°C) available (optional) ■ Palm-sized, easy connection via USB

basic information
The Orbit mini consists of a recording unit with a built-in 4-channel amplifier (Elements s.r.l.) and a temperature control unit (optional) that performs cooling and heating of the measurement chamber under computer control. The MECA 4 disposable measurement chip from Ionera is used for planar membrane formation by the painting method and simultaneous recording of four lipid planar membranes.
