Description
General description
The Millicell® ERS 3.0 Digital VoltOhmMeter reliably measures membrane potential and resistance of epithelial and endothelial cells in culture. This device qualitatively measures cell monolayer health and cell confluence. The Standard Electrode Probe fits into 3 different sizes of membrane inserts and receiver plates (6-well, 12-well, and 24-well). The Standard Electrode Probe is specially designed to be adjustable so that the depth of the electrode reaches the bottom of the well plate while the adjustable ring rests on top of the well. An Electroless Nickle Immersion Gold (ENIG) plate on each external facing electrode tip measures voltage. The small size of the electrodes enables easy measurement of transepithelial voltage and the resistance of cells grown on microporous membranes.
Application
To study endothelial/epithelial barrier models (like the blood-brain barrier models, gastrointestinal tract models, and pulmonary models), To study efficacy of drugs, To evaluate pharmacological toxicities
