QUIETEST ELECTRONICS IN THE INDUSTRY. OPTIMIZED FOR SINGLE CHANNEL RECORDING SINGLE CONTROLLER AND ROE WILL RUN TWO STEPPER MOTOR DRIVE MANIPULATORS SELF-DETECTING, DAISY-CHAIN CAPABILITY ALLOWS CONTROL OF FOUR MANIPULATORS FROM THE ROE-200 USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE: SINGLE BUTTON ACCESS TO ALL MAJOR FUNCTIONS EASILY CONFIGURABLE VIRTUAL 4TH AXIS SET WITHOUT EXTERNAL COMPUTER ACCELERATED MODE FOR FAST,MANUAL MANIPULATOR MOVEMENT EASY TOGGLE SELECTION OF MODE (SPEED/RESOLUTION, PULSED DIAGONAL, ACCELERATED MODE) Neurobiological experiments are becoming more complex. Many require multiple manipulators with control units that quickly become space and/or cost prohibitive. The MPC-200 is the solution you have been asking for. A single controller capable of running 2 manipulators! Sutter Instrument has taken the simplicity of the MP-225 controller and expanded it to run two manipulators from a single controller/ROE. The MPC-200 works with our world-renowned mechanicals, the MP-285 (MPC-385), MP-225 (MPC-325) or narrow format MP-265 (MPC-365). If two manipulators aren't enough, a second controller can be daisy chained to allow the single ROE-200 to move up to four manipulators. Thus the system can be easily expanded to control highly sophisticated experiments. The Sutter MPC-200 is electrically quiet. Unique to the MPC-200 is our multi-unit controller which employs linear output circuitry to minimize electrical noise. Sutter adds additional manipulators or motorized translators to the same controller without requiring potentially noisy chopper drives. In all our manipulators, the 4th axis can be set up and changed without the need to connect an external computer and download and confgure software. A separate configuration is allowed for each output on this manipulator controller. If desired, each manipulator can approach the prep at a different angle from the horizontal. The 4th axis can be confiured between the X and Z axes or the Y and Z axes (useful when manipulator is rotated 90 degrees relative to the preparation). Faster automated pipette exchange. The MPC-200 has faster “Home” and “Work Position” moves for quicker pipette exchange. Automation is set up and run via the same interface used in the MP-225 controller; however, the speeds of the automated movement are much faster. Accelerated manual mode. For users who prefer manual pipette exchange we have added “Accelerated Mode” to the ROE. Using Accelerated Mode, the user can make quick manual moves in and out of a setup. Accelerated Mode amplifies the speed attainable in a manual move by smoothly accelerating to the maximum speed during sustained, fast turns of the ROE. Accelerated movement ends as soon as the user stops turning the knob. This mode can be fully disabled for those who feel the need for direct control of the pipette. To provide the ultimate in flexibility, the MPC-200 can be purchased separately or as basic systems such as the MPC-385, MPC-365 and MPC-325. Additional component pieces can be added at any time, allowing the user to develop a system tailored to his or her particular needs. The controller is self-detecting, so there is no need for manual configuration of the components.
