Blind Patching & Extracellular Recording |
Compact and modular; easy to set up, easy to swap between submerged and interface modes. Consistently stable fluid flow and stable temperature.
The Chambers:
- Manufactured from Plexiglas, or, for pharmacological or toxicological studies chemically inert p.t.f.e. (Teflon®) to avoid adhesion of drugs.
- Ag/AgCl reference electrodes included with termination points, easily replaceable
- The one, two or four channel chambers can be used either in the classical submerged [Oslo type] or in the air/fluid interface [Haas Type] with humidified atmosphere above the tissue slices
- To convert from submerged to interface type, simply exchange the chamber top plate
- Heated water bath has a low noise heating element and gas tube to prevent oxygen loss from perfusate solution
- Holding chamber for incubation of slices until transfer to recording chamber
- Stable Temperature control by dual thermistor feedback from water bath and slice chamber
- Ergonomic design for access from either side with micromanipulators
The Temperature Controller
- Predictive algorithms [proportional integral derivative] gives very close control of to +/- 0.1 Celsius
- Configurable alarms for temperature envelopes
- No electromagnetic noise emission from the DC power source.
- Temperature feedback from 2 thermistor probes, one can be placed in the chamber to check temperature, the other is permanently embedded with the perfusate tubes in the body of the chamber.
- Digital and analogue data outputs are available
