14. Appendix III: S-Probe
Figure 14.1: S-Probe
The unique feature of the S-Probe is the massively reduced size and weight compared to our standard headstages.
This increases the area of applications e.g. wherever the experimental space is limited or where the weight of the
headstage itself matters. The cable is very flexible and therefore prevents cable stress.
The electrical specifications of the S-Probe are identical to our standard Red Star Headstage . In addition it has
the feature of an optional bath sense connection which gives it the opportunity to operate in the 3 Electrode Mode.
Figure 14.2: S-Probe with pipette holder, cable and connector
The headstage has a thread connector to provide a safer electrical connection of the headstage and the pipette
holder (see 15.2 on page 71).
Important note: The pipette holder may be tied with fingers only. Do not use tools to tighten it!
The headstage can be used either with an EPC 10 (revision ’O’ or higher) or an EPC 10 USB (revision ’N’ or
higher) or the EPC 800 USB amplifier missing with 3 Electrode mode though.
For connecting the S-Probe to the model circuit (MC 10) of the
EPC 10 USB
an appropriate adapter is included.
