Slice Chambers for Biochemistry

Submerged Chamber & Holding Cahamber

Custom made chamber shown. Single, dual, quad and hex as standard

Features

• Submerged mode (Oslo type)
• Interface mode (Haas type)
• Single, Dual, Quad and Hex Chambers
• Compact and Modular
• Laboratory Tested and Proven
• Heater / Controller w dual thermistor feedback

The Chambers

• Manufactured from Plexiglas, or, for pharmacological or toxicological studies chemically inert p.t.f.e. (Teflon®) to avoid adhesion of drugs.

• A high density of multiple chambers is available on the biochemistry chambers compared to those for electrophysiology where ergonomic space for micromanipulators is required.

• The one, two, four or six channel chambers can be used either in the classical submerged [Oslo type] or one, two and four channel chambers 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 experimental chamber

• Stable Temperature control by dual thermistor feedback from water bath and slice chamber

The Temperature Controller

• Predictive algorithms [proportional integral derivative] gives very close control of to +/- 0.1 Celsius

• 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
