(RC-21BRFS) Slotted Bath with Field Stimulation
Product Summary
Modeled on the RC-21 Series chambers, RC-21BRFS imaging chamber is designed for field stimulation studies.
- Well optimized for studies with cardiac myocytes
- Field stimulation chamber
- Closed bath design
- Small volume with slotted bath
- Ideal for fluorescent, calcium and time-lapse imaging studies
The RC-21BRFS is a small volume, closed bath imaging chamber designed for field stimulation studies. It uses a pair of 25 mm round coverslips to form the top and bottom of the chamber, and the total bath volume is 263 µL. Two platinum wire electrodes are attached to the parallel sides of the oval-shaped bath. The connecting wires are 15 cm long and are terminated in 1 mm pins.
An additional stainless steel port at the bath input fits a standard Hamilton microliter syringe*. It may be used to inject substances into the flow path or to remove air bubbles from the sealed chamber. At the bath output, a length of tubing is used as a back pressure control to insure smooth perfusate flow.
Field stimulation can be applied via an optional field stimulator.
RC-21BRFS chambers require a platform (PM-2, PH-2 or P-2) and Series 20 stage adapter to complete the assembly for mounting onto a microscope.
Each RC-21BRFS chamber is supplied with a package of #1 thickness glass coverslips (CS-25R, 25 mm diameter, 100/pkg) and 10 ft of PE-160 polyethylene tubing.
