  • Microfabricated pipette and method of manufacture
    Publication number: 20120019270
    Abstract: A pipette suitable for carrying out patch clamp techniques for characterizing the physiology of living cells is constructed using microfabrication techniques applied to silicon wafers. The pipette includes a body portion configured for mounting in a micromanipulator and a patch tip having a patch aperture. An internal passage through the pipette permits controlled dialysis of the cell contents. A solid conductive electrode near the patch tip can be connected to suitable electronics, permitting electrical activity of the cell to be monitored with very low access resistance and lowering the capacitance of the pipette. Other microfluidic devices such as pumps and valves are integrated into the device so that the dialysis can be rapidly controlled by electronic means. The pipette can also be configured so that multiple cells can be patched simultaneously, or multiple patches can be made on a single cell simultaneously.
