The SliceMate is a temperature controlled submerged recording chamber for biological samples; neatly housed in one compact unit. It utilizes cutting edge technology to give outstanding temperature control in a compact, easy and convenient package which replaces the clumsy, slow reacting and problematic water bath designs. A peltier element allows you to heat or cool the solution whilst a data file of the actual temperature is…

For programmable dispensing, microinjection, perfusion or spritzing of reproducible microliter volumes. Pulse a valve quickly for microliter delivery, or leave it on for constant perfusion. The short delivery path saves expensive reagents.• Deliver microliter volumes starting with as little as 100 microliters of precious drugsSwitch between eight solutions in milliseconds from a single tip• Minimize cross-contamination with Ba…

Eliminate electrical interference from any analog signal, without filtering. Ideal for electrophysiology applications like EKG, EMG, and EEGs. Removes 50/60hz noise and harmonics caused by grounding problems, high gain amps, audio equipment, etc.

Bubbles in perfusion systems are caused by solution temperature changes. As solutions warm, they cannot hold as much gas, so they off-gas. This forms bubbles in perfusion tubing. It is especially true in inline heaters where the temperature rises dramatically. The best cure for bubbles is to pre-warm your solutions. AutoMate Scientific introduces the BubbleStop™ Syringe Heater with integrated temperature sensor and feedback. S…

Finally, a culture dish system specifically designed for live-cell microscopy! Now you can have accurate temperature control and high numeric aperture compatibility in a convenient disposable culture dish system compatible with all modes of microscopy. Never before has there been so many capabilities integrated into a specimen control system. • Easily adapted to a variety of specimen types from monolayered adherent cells to t…

Chamber, Controller, 5 Microaqueduct slides, 30 piece gasket set, 50 - #1.5 coverslips. The Objective Heater and Objective Heater Controller is optional (needed for use of high numeric aperture objectives). The objective heater is mounted to the upper end of the central retracting tube of the objective. The standard size fits diameters between 17 and 28mm. The medium size fits diameters between 23 and 29mm. There is also a la…

A closed system, parallel plate, micro-environmental chamber for upright microscopes. The FCS3 provides the user with all of the functionality of the popular FCS2 but redesigned for upright microscopes. Therefore, you have the following attributes in one easy to load and use chamber:•Suitable for no flow through high rate flow procedures where a rapid exchange of media is required with low cell surface shear•Cell temperature c…

Brief pulses of electricity are used in various biomedical research applications as a stimulus to excite nerve or muscle fibers. Several factors need to be considered when choosing the right stimulator.The DS2A Mk.II provides a precise Constant Voltage stimulus (up to 100V) controllable in Pulse Duration and Amplitude from self-contained batteries, making it ideally suited to electrophysiological recording in small preparation…

Brief pulses of electricity are used in various biomedical research applications as a stimulus to excite nerve or muscle fibers. Several factors need to be considered when choosing the right stimulator.The DS3 provides a precise Constant Current stimulus (up to 32mA) controllable in Pulse Duration and Amplitude and as with the DS2A this output comes from self-contained batteries. The DS3 also features a "clamp" or discharge c…

The DS4 takes an analogue voltage waveform defined within your own data acquisition/ control system and converts it into an isolated constant current stimulus. The DS4 will accept several input voltage ranges and produces four output ranges (±10µA, ±100µA, ±1mA and ±10mA). It also features a GATE input, so that several DS4 units can be controlled by a single analog waveform, but enabled individually via this GATE input. A t…

* 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…

* 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…
