Digitization—get better data, faster
- High rate of sampling (500kHz) means a more faithful digitization process, allowing for precise digital reconstruction of the analogue signal due to minimal information loss
- Eight channels can be sampled and digitized simultaneously, increasing data acquisition speed
- The HumSilencer option with the Digidata range eliminates of 50 and 60Hz line-frequency noise, making the biological signal clearer without distorting the data

Acquisition — get more flexibility and easier acquisition
- Enhanced protocol editor in pCLAMP 11 Software allows for longer and more sophisticated protocols to be programmed and reduces protocol setup time
- Multiple windows can be simultaneously displayed during a Membrane Test protocol, making it easier to patch multiple cells
- Gap-free mode allows the programming of command and digital outputs in a continuous recording, allowing you to enhance protocol design and trigger actions within the protocol automatically
