Radnoti Platinum Stimulating Electrodes

Radnoti Platinum Stimulating Electrodes

A wide range of platinum electrodes are available for use with Radnoti Tissue-Organ Baths to provide electrical stimulation to a tissue sample via a compatible stimulator.

Overview

A wide range of platinum electrodes are available for use with Radnoti Tissue-Organ Bath apparatuses or systems (in 4, 8 and 16 tissue chamber configurations including PowerLab data acquisition systems) to provide electrical stimulation to a tissue sample via a compatible stimulator.

Universal Platinum Electrodes
These electrodes are designed with a universal holder, which can fit a variety of different platinum electrodes (straight, coil, zig-zag, L-shaped, flat), and are suitable for use with the 10 mL or larger Radnoti Tissue-Organ Bath chambers. Its design allows adjustment of electrodes both vertically and horizontally, permitting precise placement of leads in relation to the tissue sample.

Field Stimulating Platinum Electrodes
These electrodes are well suited for stimulating blood vessel sections, smooth or skeletal muscle preparations or any type of tissue that requires field stimulation. They are constructed of two platinum wires sealed in glass, which then emerge and terminate in a dual vertical spiral coil design with a 1 cm gap in between. The design permits insertion into any suitable 5-10 mL or 25-50 mL Radnoti Tissue-Organ Baths, and continuous observation when a tissue sample is placed in between them. Once connected to a suitable stimulator, a large, uniform electrical field that surrounds the tissue is generated, which can be used to provoke contractions and/or the release of neurotransmitters from quiescent tissues.

Combination Tissue Support and Stimulating Electrodes
These combination electrodes are designed for use with any suitable 5-10 mL or 25-50 mL Radnoti Tissue-Organ Baths. They combine a glass tissue hook or lower L-shaped support with suitable stimulating electrodes, effectively increasing efficiency and reducing the number of objects in the bath chamber.
