You finally have a job working in biophysics, in industry or academia, with
some funding and a lab, but you’ve realized that the career challenges
continue. Come relax and network with your contemporaries and senior
biophysicists over a beer or glass of wine. This event is a great chance
to compare notes with colleagues and discuss one-on-one your unique
solutions to issues that arise in the time between getting your job and
getting your next promotion, including management of lab staff, getting
your work published, and renewing your funding. Refreshments will be
provided, with cash bar.

PATCHMASTER and PatchServer: Solutions for Patch Clamp
Presentation 1: Combined Patch Clamp and Imaging with PATCHMASTER
and SmartLUX
SmartLUX is the new imaging extension for PATCHMASTER software
synchronizing image acquisition and patch clamp data recordings. Image
based data such as fluorescence intensities form ROIs that are stored as
traces together with current and voltage traces in the PATCHMASTER data
file. A link between data points of the trace and the images enables con-
venient automatic display of the corresponding images when replaying
the patch clamp data.
Presenation 2: Multi-Patch Experiments with EPC 10 Quadro and PATCH-
MASTER
PATCHMASTER software allows the user to control up to 8 patch clamp
amplifiers (2 x EPC 10 USB Quardo) in parallel, making it an ideal platform
for either conventional multi-patch experiments or automated patch
clamping. The Multi-Cell extension of PATCHMASTER allows easy setup
and execution of acquisition sequences and analysis methods for operat-
ing all amplifiers in parallel. Conventional patch clamping with multiple
electrodes can be facilitated by automating processes using the Protocol
Editor.
Presentation 3: PatchServer: A Pipette-Based Automatic Patch Clamp
System
PatchServer is Multi Channel Systems’ new automated patch-clamp
system that adds on to a manual patch-clamp setup. It is able to establish
single-channel and whole-cell recording configurations using standard
glass electrodes. The automation includes sealing on suspended cells,
establishing recording configurations, and moving to application bays
for solution exchange – all under visual control. PatchServer comes in a
one channel version for performing single experiments, as well as a four
channel version for recording from four cells in parallel using the EPC 10
Quadro from HEKA. A piezo-driven ultra-fast solution exchanger (UFA
tool) is available as an option and can be easily integrated.

Student Research Achievement Award (SRAA)
Poster Competition
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm, West Hall
See page 47 for list of participants.
Supported by The Journal of Physical Chemistry
This session features students who are presenting posters at the Meeting
and have pre-registered for the competition. During the SRAA competi-
tion, students give a five-to-seven minute oral presentation of their
poster to one or more judges. Winners will be recognized on Monday
evening prior to the National Lecture.
