Perform Epithelial Voltage Clamping using our complete systems for accurate measurements of transepithelial voltage, short circuit current, and membrane resistance.
The Ussing chamber, which was invented by Hans Henriksen Ussing, is used for housing and sustaining living epithelial tissue or a monolayer of cells, while an appropriate epithelial amplifier and suitable electrodes are used to measure the electrical properties of the membrane. These electrical properties indicate and quantify the transport of ions, nutrients, and drugs across the tissue.
In conjunction with our solutions shown below, any device with an analog output (+/- 10V) can be connected to a PowerLab data acquisition system for synchronization of the event in LabChart, giving you even more flexibility and the ability to integrate your data streams in one place.
All our hardware is backed by the appropriate safety certification standards. More information on safety standards.
