Electrophysiology is the study of biological voltage changes, from a single ion channel through to a whole organ scale. Voltages can be measured using patch clamping, automated workstations, electrophysiology rigs or cell based assays. Specific cell lines, manipulators and microinjectors are also available for electrophysiology research.
The NL900D Case & Power Supply unit forms the heart of every NeuroLog System. Modules are not only powered by this unit, but wiring within the case allows signals to be passed between modules without the need for a mass of cable connections through the front panel sockets. The NL900D measures 133mm (high), 483mm (wide) and 317mm (deep).
* Small working volume (* Fast solution exchangeExpression of recombinant receptors in oocytes has been a favorite choice for researchers to assess the pharmacology of recombinant receptors. Since the oocytes are 1-1.5 mm in diameter, however, fast solution exchange around the oocyte was difficult. After several years of electrophysiological research, we have designed a Xenopus oocyte perfusion chamber for use in automated and…
Perfusion chamber, holds 35mm & 50mm Petri dishes (Corning Brand ONLY), or 25mm x 75mm glass slides
* Perfuse cells right in your 35mm Nunc Petri Dish (our default size)Cells cultured in Petri dishes are a popular research tool used in numerous applications, including patch clamping and intracellular ion probe imaging. True perfusion (continuous inflow and outflow) of solutions can be difficult to configure. This forces scientists to plate cells on cover slips for placement into specially designed perfusion chambers. However…
The BSC1 chamber design is similar to the original "Oslo chamber" (Langmoen & Andersen 1981) with later modifications (Dhanjal & Sears 1980, Alger et al, 1984) to allow both interface and submerged methods of slice maintenance.* "Submerged" and "Interface" methods of slice maintenance with same chamber This chamber allows adaptation to either method of slice maintenance simply by altering the fluid level by means of a screw ad…

This item is the HOLDER (BSKH) and Brain Slice Keeper (S-BSK). * Slices maintained for many hours prior to transfer to recording chamber* Simple to set up and maintain * Slices supported on a quick-change nylon net The Brain Slice Keeper has been designed to pre-incubate brain slices prior to transfer into recording chambers. It consists of a pair of closely fitting acrylic rings, upper and lower, between which is wedged a she…
The MS1 chamber has been designed for use with fixed-stage upright-type microscopes. The particular feature of this chamber is the profiled contour that allows the microscope objective to sweep across the preparation when changing magnification, without having to adjust the focusing. In this way the specimen and any pre-positioned microelectrodes remain par-focal. This is particularly useful for confocal microscopy where it is…
The PC series perfusion chambers have embedded magnets that are conveniently located to retain perfusion plumbing and ground plugs. They are designed to fit into our 8090c fixed stage platform. A standard 22 mm cover slip is used to create the chamber bottom that is attached with vacuum grease, silicon, or parafilm (use a heat gun to gently melt the parafilm). There are two plastic retention screws for added security. Both ope…
The piezo solution switcher uses a high-speed piezo flexure guided nanopositioner to move pipette tips in solution switching applications. It can move an electrode tip across a 5 µm thick theta glass septum. This system is ideal for measuring cellular response to drugs or other elements in solution. Piezo movement can be triggered by either input from common recording amplifier equipment or by Siskiyou software via a LabVIEW™…

Another in a long line of TMC innovations, the 75 Series Breadboards minimize both weight and cost. A patented manufacturing technique allows us to form countersunk, tapped holes in a thin top skin of stainless steel. The holes are not drilled or punched, but fabricated in a way that effectively “thickens” the skin in a small ring around the threads. No inserts are used and the tapped holes are 3 threads deep.These tops have r…
