Suction capillaries with U-shaped opening for holding moving cells during intracellular electrical recording

Suction capillaries with U-shaped opening for holding moving cells during intracellular electrical recording

M Peters. Biophys Struct Mech. .

Abstract

The production of suction capillaries with an U-shaped cross-section is described. The capillary may be used for holding contractile cells during intracellular recording to diminish movement artifacts. In addition microelectrode penetration is facilitated by stretching the surface of the cell.
