(RC-25, RC-25F) Open Diamond Bath Imaging Chambers for Round Coverslips

Product Summary

Open diamond bath recording chambers designed for round coverslips.

 

  • Designed for physiological measurements of cell cultured coverslips
  • Applications include patch clamp, intracellular/extracellular recordings, and imaging
  • Uses 12 and 15 mm diameter round coverslips as the chamber floor
  • Diamond shaped bath provides laminar solution flow
  • Small bath volume facilitates fast solution exchange

The design of the RC-25 and RC-25F chambers incorporates a diamond-shaped bath which has been shown to produce laminar flow. Since the bath volumes of these chambers is small (90 and 133 ul/mm for the RC-25 and RC-25F, respectively), fluid exchange times are measured in seconds even when flow rates are less than 1 ml/min.

RC-25 Chamber

The RC-25 works equally well with either 12 or 13 mm diameter coverslips while the RC-25F uses 15 mm coverslips. In general, these coverslips are used to form the bottom of the chamber bath. NOTE: These chambers are not designed for insertion of coverslips from the top.

The RC-25 requires a platform (PM-3PH-3 or P-3) and Series 20 stage adapter to complete the assembly for mounting onto a microscope.

 

The RC-25 is supplied with a package of #1.5 thickness glass coverslips (CS-12R, 12 mm diameter, 100/pkg) and 10 ft of PE-160 tubing.

RC-25F Chamber

The RC-25F is similar in design to the RC-25 but uses 15 mm coverslips. In general, these coverslips are used to form the bottom of the chamber bath. NOTE: These chambers are not designed for insertion of coverslips from the top.

The RC-25F requires a platform (PM-4, PH-4 or P-4) and Series 20 stage adapter to complete the assembly for mounting onto a microscope.

 

The RC-25F is supplied with a package of #1.5 thickness glass coverslips (CS-15R, 15 mm diameter, 100/pkg) and 10 ft of PE-160 tubing.
