• Curve fitting with exponential and other functions.
• Quantal content analysis.
• Driving function analysis.

PAT - Single-channel current analysis program

PAT is a program for recording and analysing signal-channel currents from patch clamp experiments.

Features include:

• Continuous sampling-to-disc.
• Amplitude histogram generation with gaussian curve fitting.
• Half amplitude open/close transition detection.
• Linear and logarithmic dwell time histograms.
• Multi-exponential probability density function fitting.
• Stability plots.

 

 

SPAN - Spectral analysis program

SPAN is a program for recording and analysing fluctuations in whole cell ionic current.

Features include:

• Current variance vs mean current plots.
• Power spectrum analysis Lorentzian curve fitting.
• Calculation of single channel conductance.
• Stationary and non-stationary analysis.
