Sophion launches new, lower throughput QPatch 8

(February 19, 2010; Copenhagen, Denmark)  For the second consecutive year, Sophion Bioscience announces an exciting new product at a major conference.  Exhibiting at the 54^th annual meeting of the Biophysical Society in San Francisco (www.biophysics.org), Sophion reveals the new QPatch 8 for lower throughput automated patch clamping.

This new product meets the needs of a growing market segment not requiring the higher throughput of a QPatch 16 or QPatch HT. The QPatch 8 employs the same, reliable QPlates used by ion channel researchers around the world for over five years.  Labs with QPatch 8 systems may also upgrade to QPatch 16 or HT as their ion channel programs expand over time.  

“As a flexible company tuned to the needs of our customers, Sophion strives to meet market demand in the world of ion channel research,” said Frank Henrichsen, VP of Sales & Marketing at Sophion Bioscience.  “The QPatch 8 is perfect for cost conscious academic, CRO, biotech labs and small pharma.”

The QPatch 8 is a simplified version of the QPatch 16, with two pipette heads (instead of four) and with manual feeding of individual compound plates, cells and QPlates.  More detailed information about the QPatch 8 may be obtained at the Sophion booth at Biophysics (# 314).  Alternatively, for more information about the QPatch 8 please send an email to info@sophion.com or contact one of our representatives below.
