Abstract

This paper describes an investigation of drug effects for ion channels with recognizing the intra/extracellular directions. We have previously reported the ion channel recordings with bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs) which formed on a parylene micropore using droplets contact method. However, the low reconstitution probability of ion channels into BLMs has been a major issue. In this study, BLMs area and position are regulated with changing the numbers and positions of the parylene micropores. As a result, the simultaneous single channel recordings of K+ channel expressed in nerve system with BLM array were able to be achieved at the high probability.
