| 摘要 |
An object of the present invention is directed to reducing a noise current by suppressing variations in an applied membrane potential in the planar patch clamp device, thereby enabling accurate measurement of an ion channel current. A planar patch clamp device comprising: an electrically insulative substrate having at least one fine through holes; a liquid reservoir and an electrode unit disposed on each of surfaces of the through-hole are configured so that the liquid reservoir retains a conductive liquid and the electrode unit is electrically communicate with the liquid reservoir, wherein the electrode comprises (a) an electrode vessel, wherein at least part of a vessel wall is made of an inorganic porous material, (b) an electrode in which a chloride (NmCl) layer is formed on the surface of a noble metal (Nm), and (c) an electrode solution containing (NmCl) and an alkali metal chloride being dissolved at a saturated concentration, is disclosed. |
