Perfusion Chambers<br />

Small Volume Perfusion Chamber <strong>for</strong> 10mm Coverslips Consists of<br />

two parts. The bottom part has a special profile to fit No 2, 10 mm O.D., coverslip. The top part has 8 mm<br />

round working compartment with slanted edges <strong>for</strong> easy access to your sample and two separate compartments<br />

<strong>for</strong> solution inflow and outflow. This prevents bubbles from coming into the chamber. Item#:<br />

CSC-10P<br />

• Outside diameter: 35mm • Working volume:<br />

00 microl<br />

mm diameter, approx.<br />

Laminar Profile Perfusion Chamber Polycarbonate chamber with laminar cutout to<br />

provide smooth perfusion. Permanently attached to No .5 glass coverslip <strong>for</strong> use during imaging. Thin<br />

3mm profile allows you to use water immersion optics and access samples <strong>for</strong> recordings, injection and<br />

local substance application. Separate inflow and outflow compartments prevent bubbles from entering the<br />

working volume during perfusion. Incorporated channel <strong>for</strong> reference electrodes or temperature probes.<br />

Optional accessories: a mounting adapter PLD-A and a microscope adapter MA. Consider adding an<br />

outflow unit <strong>for</strong> suction to remove solution during perfusion. Item#: PLD22x40<br />

Adapter <strong>for</strong> Laminar Perfusion Chamber This adapter allows you to use laminar<br />

flow chamber PLD22x40 with microscope adapters MA or IMA, which can be used to mount miniature<br />

holders <strong>for</strong> different accessories. Comes with <strong>for</strong> sets of clamps and mounting thumb screws to fix the<br />

chamber. Item#: PLD-A<br />

Low Profile Small Volume Laminar Perfusion Chamber <strong>for</strong> Coverslips,<br />

PCCS2<br />

Inside diameter is only 10 mm. The chamber has two separate openings <strong>for</strong> solution inflow and outflow<br />

to provide smooth perfusion and prevent bubbles from coming in. Low profile permits easy access with<br />

electrodes, pipettes and immersion optics. Combined with miniature holders, <strong>for</strong>ms a perfusion system.<br />

Easy to use, simply release adhesive layer on the coverslip (even with media still present), and attach the<br />

chamber from the top. Coverslip is flashed on the bottom of the chamber.<br />

The chamber is made out of polycarbonate. It is only 5.5 mm thick (high). The bottom of the chamber is<br />

a replaceable 30mm round coverslip. The coverslip is attached to the chamber by using adhesive layers<br />

(or any adhesive, even melted wax). Easy to clean after use. Note: Can be used with any thickness 30mm<br />

coverslips.<br />

The chamber fits inside microscope stage adapter, specify microscope model when ordering. The chamber<br />

can be rotated inside the stage to provide required orientation of the sample. Custom stages <strong>for</strong> non-standard<br />

microscopes are available upon request.<br />

Screw-type or magnetic tubing/electrode holders extend this flexibility even further. They can be positioned<br />

anywhere around the chamber, so that tubing is not in the way of objectives or recording electrodes.<br />

Furthermore, the holders can adjust the angle and, as a result, tubing can approach the sample from any<br />

direction. The holders fit to perfusion manifolds. They also can be used to position reference electrodes<br />

or temperature probes, or even tubing to deliver gases, <strong>for</strong> example oxygen, over the sample. MTH-S<br />

stainless suction tubing provides smooth perfusion. If you are planning to use this system during perfusion<br />

experiments, all you need is a outflow unit <strong>for</strong> suction to remove solution during perfusion. Can be<br />
