Neurobiological experiments are becoming
more complex. Many require multiple manipulators with control units that
quickly become space and/or cost prohibitive. The MPC-200 is the
solution you have been asking for. A single controller capable of running
2 manipulators! Sutter Instrument has taken the simplicity of the MP-225
controller and expanded it to run two manipulators from a single controller/ROE.
The MPC-200 works with one or two of our world-renowned mechanicals,
the MP-285 (MPC-385), the MP-225 (MPC-325) or
the narrow format MP-265 (MPC-365).
The controller is self-detecting so there is no need for manual configuration
of the components.
If two manipulators aren't enough, a second controller can be daisy
chained to allow the single ROE-200 to move up to four manipulators.
Thus the system can be easily expanded to control highly sophisticated
experiments.

The Sutter MPC-200 is electrically quiet. Unlike
the competition, our multi-unit controller employs linear output circuitry.
Sutter adds additional manipulators to the same controller without requiring
potentially noisy chopper drives.
Faster automated pipette exchange. The MPC-200 has faster “Home”
and “Work Position” moves for quicker pipette exchange. Automation
is set up and run via the same interface used in the MP-225 controller;
however, the speeds of the automated movement are much faster.
Accelerated manual mode. For users who prefer manual pipette exchange
we have added “Accelerated Mode” to the ROE. Using Accelerated
Mode, the user can make quick manual moves in and out of a setup. Accelerated
Mode amplifies the speed attainable in a manual move by smoothly accelerating
to the maximum speed during sustained, fast turns of the ROE. Accelerated
movement ends as soon as the user stops turning the knob. This mode can
be fully disabled for those who feel the need for direct control of the
pipette.
To provide the ultimate in flexibility, the MPC-200 can be purchased
separately or in one of several basic systems such as the MP-385
or the MP-325. Additional component pieces can be added
at any time, allowing the user to develop a system tailored to his or
her particular needs.
