The automated electrophysiology workhorse.

Ionovation Scout

Ionovation Scout

The Ionovation Scout is your tool for the electrophysiological analysis of reconstituted molecules in the defined environment of artificial lipid membranes. It amalgamates the essence of the 10 years of experience with the Ionovation Compact and is much smaller, even more flexible, and very economic as well.

This highly flexible bench top system has made the study of membrane channels and transporters from both animal and plant cells and their organelles a lot easier. No more limitation to suitable cell lines and easy access to both sides of the membrane are characteristic for the bilayer technique.The Ionovation Scout is your tool for the electrophysiological analysis of reconstituted molecules in the defined environment of artificial lipid membranes.

And here’s the big extra: the automated membrane generation in combination with the pre-manufactured chambers guarantees the success of bilayer-experiments for every lab and makes it the efficiency tool of choice for both experts and beginners. After all you want results from your biology, so leave the task of having a membrane ready for these measurements to the Ionovation Scout.

The instrument comes in a very economic version for standard experiments and is optionally upgradable with high performance electronics for sub-pA electrical resolution.

Specific and published areas of research for the Ionovation Scout include (but are not limited to):

  • Plant channels and pores
  • Bacterial channels and pores
  • Animal channels and pores
  • Toxic agents, e.g. botulinum toxin
  • Membrane active agents, e.g. synuclein
  • Structure-function analyses on all of the above
  • Lipid-Flip-Flop
  • And others …
