Features
Dendrite™ — Data Acquisition for Any Electrophysiology Setup
The Dendrite™ Data Acquisition System from Sutter Instrument meets the needs of researchers who want to combine their existing amplifier with the full functionality of SutterPatch® software. Featuring independent 16-bit A/D and D/A converters and compatibility with most patch clamp and electrophysiology amplifiers (±10 V signal range), the Dendrite covers the majority of electrophysiology applications.
Data Acquisition
- Up to 8 analog input channels (±10 V; 0.1–50 kHz sampling rate per channel)
- 4 analog output channels (±10 V)
- 8 digital output channels (TTL)
- Up to 400 kHz aggregate sampling rate
- Independent 16-bit A-D and D-A converters — no crosstalk, maximum signal fidelity
- Trigger input and output lines for synchronization with other equipment
- High-speed USB 2.0 connection — no additional computer interface hardware needed
- Compatible with most patch clamp amplifiers compliant with ±10 V standard signal range
