Abstract
The piette perfusion technique is a version of patch-clamp techniques and provides a greater intracellular access during electrophysiological recordings. This internal perfusion technique offers the intracellular change of not only ions but also substances with higher molecular weight such as enzymes, antibodies, and metabolites. As to the other versions of techniques, it requires dedicated time and personal training. This chapter describes the tips and tricks of the unique pipette perfusion technique.
