Title:		Automated Workstation for Data Acquisition and Perfusion Control in Oocytel Electrophysiology
Inventor:		Farb, David H.
Summary:		This invention provides novel apparatus and methods for the study of membrane physiology. The system is fully customizable through a sophisticated object-oriented programming language, and can be easily adapted to applications such as patch clamp, electrophysiology, calcium imaging studies, confocal microscopy and other applications where perfusion control and data acquisition need to be tightly integrated. The system overcomes problems of reproducibility and reliability associated with performing multiple electrophysiological measurements on a plurality of cells by using automated perfusion systems and methods that are capable of controlled and consisten perfusions on a plurality of recording chambers.
