Booth #528 at #BPS2026 is open.

We’re introducing two new additions to our APC portfolio.

Built on 20+ years of experience. Designed for today’s electrophysiology challenges.

Two new paths to patch clamp. One shared principle: high-quality data without compromise.

Which path fits your research?

Over the last 20 years, Patchliner has supported a wide range of #electrophysiology research including #APC in academia, #cardiacsafety and CiPA initiatives, #drugdiscovery workflows in pharma and more.

These applications shaped how the Patchliner has evolved.

Full reveal at #BPS2026.

Twenty years of experience rarely lead to small changes.

This is just a glimpse of what we’ve been working on, shaped by:

✔️ Years of feedback
✔️ Evolving experimental demands
✔️ Changing expectations around data quality and scale in electrophysiology

Full reveal at #BPS2026.

Why early safety assessment needs a new approach

Animal models and simple assays often miss human-specific risk.
New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) combine human-relevant biology with scalable in vitro tools to enable earlier, more predictive safety insight.
