We followed the setup instructions and tutorials for the Axoclamp 900A and successfully tested the system with the model cell. We are now preparing for actual recordings in Xenopus laevis oocytes.
When we clamp Channel 2 at a holding voltage of -60 mV, the system reports a voltage of -126 mV and a current of -60 nA. Why is the recorded membrane potential more negative than the command voltage? Is this discrepancy normal during model cell testing or does it suggest a configuration or calibration issue?
We tried mounting the electrodes and immersing them in the bath solution. How can we measure or verify the access resistance of the electrodes directly from the software? Is there a specific procedure or command we should run to get this value?
