Cytocentrics

Cytocentrics is the world leader in the field of high-throughput, high-accuracy cellular patch clamp testing. Cytocentrics' robotic, networked instrument utilizes a unique 3D silicon microfluidics chip to capture and repeatedly evaluate individual cells. Patch clamping is a technique for measuring microscopic voltage changes caused by the movement of molecules through the membrane ion channels of a cel, a function that is central to cellular physiology and drug-cell interactions. By automating a process that previously could only be conducted by highly trained scientists using laborious manual methods, Cytocentrics is opening up new avenues of research in the field of drug development, neuroscience, diabetes and personalized medicine.
