Sutter's Integrated Patch-Clamp Amplifier Vs. AM-system, any recomndations?

Hello,

I'm building a new patch-clamp rig and wanted to know if anyone can compare the two of these.

I'm interested in the user interface, stability, and overall experience.

Many thanks

Hemi

Get the Sutter stuff. AM systems stuff is cheap for a reason. Every lab I know has a AM systems box with "Do not use" or "Channel 2 is broken" or "Excessive Noise" label stuck on it. If you can afford the IPA, get it.
