Performance of the patcherBot_Pharma in the propofol case study

	Counts	Yield	Theoretical Max.a
	N	%	N
Patch attempts	42
Successfully established gigaseals	39	93
Whole-cell conformations obtained	28	72
Outside-out patches obtained	24	86
Experiments started	24	—
Successful experiments	18	75	25.8
Total data points collected	113		154.8
Data points passed quality control	71

^aThe theoretical maximum (max.) values were determined by taking the total operation time divided by the total time for one successful cycle. Since there are six collected data points per experiment, the theoretical maximum for total collected data points equals the number of experiments multiplied by a factor of 6.
