Patch Clamp Technique
The patch clamp technique is a widely used electrophysiological method for studying ion channels in cell membranes. This technique involves using a micropipette to form a gigaohm seal with a cell membrane, allowing for the manipulation of the electrical potential across the membrane. There are four main types of patch clamp, each with their own…

Freeze Fracture Technique
The Freeze Fracture Technique is a powerful method utilized in the study of cell biology and other biological samples. By freezing and breaking a sample, its internal structure is revealed and can be examined under an electron microscope. This technique is commonly applied to investigate cell membranes, organelles, microorganisms, as well as in fields like…
