Other Gain Range Selection Considerations
The intrinsic noise of the current measuring circuit is a function of the bath clamp
feedback resistor with a larger resistor offering lower noise and greater signal resolution.
For comparisons, the following measurements were made with a shorted input, with the
standard 0.5 µF capacitance model cell, and with a 0.22 µF capacitance modified model
cell. All readings were recorded at 1 kHz (8-pole Bessel) and are RMS.
A lower value feedback resistor increases the speed of the bath clamp and can handle
larger currents without saturating, important when recording from high expression
oocytes.
