(RC-27) Large Rectangular Open Bath Chamber

Product Summary

A large bath chamber suitable for studies requiring smooth solution flow with a large viewing area.

  • Accommodates large tissue sections or brain slices
  • Large rectangular bath
  • Large optical imaging area
  • Can be used with either upright or inverted microscopes
  • Slice anchors available

The RC-27 is a large bath chamber ideal for large tissue or brain slice studies. The large imaging area increases the likelihood of viewing desired features in the angled sides of the chamber facilitate electrode placement.

The chamber floor consists of a 24 x 50 mm rectangular coverslip and the bath area is 12 x 24mm. these dimensions are useful for organotypic slice culture studies. An adjustable spreader plate at the bath input facilitates uniform solution flow. The working volume of the RC-27 is 413 ul per mm of solution height. The chamber is equipped with a stainless steel aspiration tube together with a clamp.

Designed for brain or tissue slice studies, several optional slice anchors are offered with Lycra thread spacings of 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 mm. An anchor kit is also available containing slice anchors (1 each) in each available thread spacing.

The RC-27 requires a platform (PM-6 or PH-6) and Series 20 stage adapter to complete the assembly for mounting onto a microscope.

 

Each chamber is supplied with a package of #1 thickness glass coverslips (CS-24/50, 24 x 50 mm, 50/pkg) and 10 ft of PE-160 tubing. Available slice anchors sold separately.
