A device for automated control of pipette internal pressure for patch-clamp recording.

Formation of a high-resistance seal between the tip of a glass recording pipette and the membrane of the recorded cell is the crucial step in patch clamping, or whole cell recording with patch pipettes. Formation of the seal, and subsequent rupture of the membrane for whole cell recording, requires a specific sequence of changes in pipette internal hydrostatic pressure. Generating this sequence of pressure changes adds to the complexity of setting up, gaining proficiency, and performing experiments. Automation of routine pipette pressure manipulations would simplify seal formation, and benefit productivity. Here we describe a device that automates control of patch pipette internal pressure. Solenoid valves sequentially operated by manual switching, or external electronic control, automatically provide the necessary sequence of connections to the pipette interior. This greatly simplifies the operations performed to obtain membrane seals and whole cell recordings and improves standardization and reproducibility in patch recording.

Derivation of an equation for quantitative SIL assignment.

Quantitative risk analysis for selection of safety integrity levels (SIL's) is becoming more prevalent due to the high equipment costs associated with qualitative methods. Procedures for applying quantitative methods to the SIL selection problem are in the early stages of development. Literature explaining quantitative methods is scarce and many engineers are forced to develop ad hoc procedures, some of which are mathematically flawed. One of the equations popularly used to assign a probability of failure on demand (PFD) to a safety instrumented function (SIF) based on tolerable risk and unmitigated event frequency is shown in the equation below. Variations of this equation are in use by various SIS practitioners: PFD(SIF) = f(Tolerable)_Risk/f(Unmitigated)_Event. This paper presents a rigorous derivation of this equation based on scientific laws of probability math and standardized definitions used in the field of SIS engineering. By publishing this derivation the author hopes to lend more credibility to this type of SIL selection process and increase its usage in the process industries.

Dual channel light pulse exposure timer.

An instrument has been developed for routine measurement of pulse durations of lasers and pulsed light sources. A four digit light emitting diode (LED) count display is used with a range of selectable clock rates in five decades from 1 MHz to 100 Hz with a longest time duration corresponding to 99.99 s. The performance of the system was verified using a Schmidt trigger test circuit to drive an LED where the time of the drive pulse was compared to that indicated by the timer unit and where also silicon photodiodes of different detector areas were used to verify device measurement accuracy.A buffered output channel allows inspection by an oscilloscope to verify output pulse characteristics. This can be especially relevant to verify performance characteristics of a given laser/pulsed light system and to establish definitive assessments for eye safety based on relevant standards.
