Abstract
In electrophysiological or microfluorescence experiments, application of drugs is a necessity when studying receptors gated by these substances. This requires a system allowing local and rapid application of the desired drug. Moreover, when the effects of more than one drug are studied on the same cell, the demands on the system become even more complicated. Most drug application systems are based on a U-tube drug application device. The essential idea of this U-shaped loop is depicted in Fig. 4.1.30
