Sophion Bioscience was founded in July 2000, emerging from a successful research and development program at NeuroSearch. Headquarted near Copenhagen, Denmark, Sophion has the sole focus of providing advanced products and integrated solutions for automated patch clamping.
The patch clamp technique is considered the gold standard in ion channel research. The technique was developed by Erwin Neher and Bert Sakmann, who received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine (1991) for their work. QPatch is the name of Sophion's product family of automated patch clamp systems. Based on advanced microtechnology, QPatch systems potentially increase patch clamp throughput from 100 up to 1,000 times by a high degree of parallelism and automation. Thus QPatch combines the accuracy of traditional patch clamp with the high throughput of indirect methods.
Sophion have developed patch clamp solutions for functional characterization of living cells and their products and are used in pharmaceutical and biotech companies around the world.
