The new all-in-one chamber design incorporates the best features of both the old Haas or interface type cell and the old Oslo or submerged type cell.
This six cell slice chamber is designed to work in either Submerged or Interface modes. The Model CI.7450-6P(B) is identical to the "6A" model with the exception that the six acrylic tissue cell bodies have been replaced by six P.T.F.E. (Teflon®) cell bodies. This is recommended in settings where pharmacological agents could be absorbed and later released by the more porous acrylic cell body if used. This unit is not suitable for tissue electrophysiology as no reference electrode is provided. The four holding cells continue to be made of acrylic.
Stable, linear flow and temperature are assured in either Submerged or Interface mode. Replacement cell chambers are available in both Acrylic and P.T.F.E. (Teflon®) materials.
A digital display heater / controller unit is included with predictive algorithms (Proportional, Integral and Derivative) and dual feedback from a thermistor for fast feedback, plus another for spot temperature offset. The water bath temperature is controlled to within +/- 0.1 Celsius in a stable environment.
The ergonomics of being able to easily work with multiple slices has been carefully considered in the design of this unit and all multi-chamber systems. This design is also available with 2 or 4 test cells, however this unit is the most cost and time efficient.
