CALIBRATION of the x0.1 RANGE
LOW VOLTAGE / LOW NOISE HEADSTAGE
(Standard SEC SYSTEMS without Adapted Amplifier)
This headstage has an output current range of

15nA into maximum 100 M

, and the noise and bias current
are reduced by a factor of 10 compared to the standard headstage. Therefore, it is recommended for whole
cell patch clamp recordings.
All
current related signals have to be divided/multiplied by 10.

CURRENT DISPLAY: XXX pA /no decimal point (100 = 100 pA)

HOLDING CURRENT: XXX pA (100 = 100 pA)

Input sensitivity: BNC labeled 1 nA/V has now 0.1 nA/V i.e. 1V = 100 pA
BNC labeled 0.1 nA/V has now 0.01 nA/V i.e. 1V = 10 pA)

Output sensitivity: 1V/nA-100V/nA

BRIDGE BALANCE: (XXX) x10 M
